Meta Opens Muse Early Access for New AI Features After Connect 2026

1 articles · Updated · TechCrunch · Sep 25

Meta on Friday began taking requests for early access to new Muse AI features unveiled at Connect 2026, letting users ask the app to join a waitlist before the broader rollout.
A prompt shared by Meta on X logs interest in the program, which is aimed at AI enthusiasts rather than a randomized test group to gather feedback from heavy users familiar with rival tools.
Connect demos pointed to the features those users may get first: a video-chat digital avatar, more shopping partnerships and connectors, and a Mac app upgrade that can use a computer to complete tasks.
Meta also said Muse is coming to its AI glasses, extending the assistant beyond phones and desktops as the company pushes to keep pace in the crowded AI app and agent market.
