Meta invites early adopters to test Muse AI's latest features
The social media giant is now accepting sign-ups for its early access program to debut fresh capabilities for its Muse conversational AI assistant.
TechCrunch — AI
Meta is welcoming interested users to join an early access cohort for Muse, its AI assistant, as the company prepares to roll out a slate of new features announced at its Connect 2026 developer conference.
How to sign up#
Users can request access by asking Muse directly to enroll them in the program. The specific prompt that triggers sign-up is: "Can you let the Muse team know I want to be part of the Muse early access program?" Those without a direct link can simply copy and paste this message into the app.
Why recruit early enthusiasts#
Rather than running a traditional closed beta with randomly selected participants, Meta is specifically targeting AI-savvy users who actively explore multiple AI applications. This audience understands the competitive landscape and can offer nuanced feedback—a strategy that may give Meta an edge in a crowded market where first-mover advantage on innovation matters.
What's coming to Muse#
Early testers will get their hands on features including:
- An animated digital avatar for video conversations with Muse
- Expanded shopping integrations and connectors
- Enhanced Mac app capabilities that let the agent control your computer to automate tasks
- AI glasses integration so users can activate Muse with a wake word and voice commands
The rollout signals Meta's ambitions to transform Muse from a text-based chatbot into a multimodal assistant spanning glasses, desktop, and mobile platforms.
