Meta opened an early access request list for new features in its Muse AI app after announcing them at Connect 2026.
By September 25, 2026 at 1:34 PM PDT, users could submit interest via a Muse prompt (including copying and pasting “Can you let the Muse team know I want to be part of the Muse early access program?”).
Access changes as Muse adds a digital avatar for video chat, more shopping connectors, an expanded Mac app that can carry out tasks, and voice wake-word interaction on Meta’s AI glasses.
Meta promoted its new AI app Muse at Meta Connect as early downloads and reviews surged. Muse passed 2.5 million downloads after launch on September 8 and reached more than 3.4 million downloads by the latest Sensor Tower estimates. The app’s momentum increased further after Meta’s conference, with daily active users rising 27% on Wednesday and Muse holding top rankings on the U.S. App Store and Google Play.
Datacor built self-service rental analytics inside its TrackAbout application by embedding Amazon Quick Sight dashboards and a natural-language search for rental billing data previously locked behind IT reports. The rollout started with a data pipeline phase in July 2025, then added a pilot of 6-7 customers in September 2025 and released broadly in November 2025. The change lets business users explore and ask questions about rental performance without filing IT tickets, with data refreshed automatically from operational systems into Quick Sight datasets.
Meta launched Muse, an AI assistant app positioned as a textable agent, and it quickly became the top free iPhone app in the US. Early usage reports cite about 500,000 users and a case where a delayed Delta flight led to $250 in account credit within five minutes. The rollout pushes Meta to earn by taking a transaction fee from merchants, while users and partners raise concerns about whether the agent’s interests align with the user or with Meta’s referral payouts.
Meta’s Muse chatbot previously exposed its filesystem to users after it was discovered “yesterday,” including details it suggested it should not reveal. David Singleton said that the filesystem access when prompted is the intended behavior. As a result, Meta updates Muse so it will more readily return filesystem contents when asked.
Microsoft launched its 9th release of Copilot for work.

The listing changes how Copilot is positioned as a way to connect with existing apps and produce finished work instead of just answers.
The article argues that personal AI will grow by feeling approachable, earning trust via well-timed permission requests, and handling avoided tasks with useful next steps.
Meta announced Meta VR Glasses as a glasses-form VR headset with a two-part design, integrated Meta AI, and media, work, gaming, and hologram calling features. The device is scheduled to go on sale in spring 2027 for $1,299.99 USD. It will shift Meta’s VR lineup toward lighter, controller-free headwear and expand availability of 3D movie streaming, immersive sports, and hands-free calling experiences.
Meta updated its Ray-Ban Display glasses with hands-free navigation, a voice-driven hologram face for calls, and new apps and notification features. Online ordering starts today in the US, with availability on October 13 for France, Italy, Germany, and Rx through Essilor Luxottica stores in France and Italy. The device adds turn-by-turn cycling and transit directions, early-access WhatsApp hologram calls later this fall, a more capable calendar, mirrored phone notifications, Threads Community feeds, and wider market availability.
Jennifer Pattison Tuohy tested AI camera features across Google’s Nest Doorbell, Aqara’s HomeKit-compatible G400, and Amazon’s Ring Pro 4K. The Ring Pro 4K scenario included multiple “motion detected” alerts while a requested video clip kept buffering. The takeaway is that the AI text summaries didn’t consistently translate into reliable, fast video playback across the setups.
GoodSocials is listed as an AI social media manager that generates LinkedIn content for approval in a kanban board and then schedules posts. It shows 62 followers on the launch page. After publishing, it changes how users plan by letting them approve drafts and have posts go out near daily.
