Meta opens early access program for new Muse features

Why It Matters

Inviting AI-savvy users first could speed feedback and help Meta refine features before wider rollout, potentially giving the company an edge as it expands Muse across devices and shopping integrations.

Key Facts

Announcement date: September 25, 2026
How to request access: Share a prompt Meta posted on X or ask Muse: "Can you let the Muse team know I want to be part of the Muse early access program?"
Promoted at: Connect 2026 developer conference
Highlighted new features: Digital avatar for video chat, expanded shopping partnerships and connectors, expanded Muse Mac app task capabilities, Muse integration with Meta AI glasses using a wake word
Target early-access group: AI enthusiasts rather than randomized A/B test groups

Meta is inviting users to join an early access program for additional Muse AI features it revealed at Connect 2026. The company posted a link to a prompt on X that, when shared with Muse, registers interest; Meta also suggested users can copy a short request phrase and send it to Muse directly to be added to the list. Meta announced the availability of the request option on Friday.

At Connect, Meta described several forthcoming Muse capabilities, including a digital avatar that will support video chats with the assistant and broader shopping integrations through new partnerships and connectors. The firm also said it plans to expand the Muse Mac app so the assistant can use a user’s computer to carry out a range of tasks. Separately, Meta confirmed Muse will be available on its AI glasses, enabling voice-activated interactions via a wake word.

Unlike many product pilots that rely on randomized A/B test groups, Meta indicated it will prioritize AI enthusiasts for early access. The company suggested this audience may deliver faster, more informed feedback because such users typically engage with multiple AI apps and agents and have a deeper familiarity with the market.

Meta’s move to solicit early testers follows its broader push to integrate Muse across more hardware and services. The early access sign-up represents the first step for users who want to try the new features ahead of a wider release; Meta has not provided a public timeline for general availability.
