Meta opens early access program for new Muse features
techcrunch ·
Meta has launched an early access program for new features in its Muse AI app, following announcements made at the Connect 2026 developer conference. Users can join the program by sharing a specific prompt with the Muse bot on X or by copying and pasting a designated text message. Unlike traditional beta tests that rely on randomized groups, Meta is targeting AI enthusiasts who are likely to provide valuable feedback due to their market knowledge. The upcoming features include a digital avatar capable of video chatting, expanded shopping partnerships, and enhanced capabilities for the Mac application. Additionally, Muse will be integrated into Meta’s AI glasses, allowing users to interact via voice commands after using a wake word. This strategy aims to keep Meta competitive by engaging a knowledgeable user base early in the development cycle.
