Meta opens early access program for new Muse features

Meta is opening the door a little wider on Muse. After showing off a batch of new features for its AI app at Connect 2026 this week, the company said on Friday that people can now ask to be included in early access for the latest tools before they reach everyone else.

The sign-up itself is oddly Meta-simple: the company posted a prompt on X, and if that prompt is shared with Muse, it logs the user’s interest in joining the early access program. For anyone who hates copy-and-paste scavenger hunts, Meta also included the exact text: “Can you let the Muse team know I want to be part of the Muse early access program?”

This is not the usual random beta group or A/B test setup. Meta says it wants AI enthusiasts first, the sort of users who already juggle several AI apps and agents and tend to understand the market better than most. That can be a smart way to shake out rough edges quickly, and it also keeps the company in front of a crowd that notices when a product feels behind.

At Connect, Meta teased the features that are presumably heading into those early hands: a digital avatar for Muse that can be video chatted with, more shopping partnerships and connectors, and a Mac app expansion that will soon be able to use the computer to carry out tasks. Meta also said Muse is coming to its AI glasses, where users will be able to talk to the agent using a wake word and then issue a command.
