Summary
On 29 September 2026, Meta announced "Muse for Small Business", an extension of its personal AI agent Muse with new business skills and connectors to third-party tools (Asana, Box, Canva, Dropbox, Figma, Intuit QuickBooks, Shopify, Slack, Stripe, Zoom, etc.), as well as access to Facebook and Instagram business accounts. The agent, available in the United States and Canada, runs on a secure virtual machine with an approval system controlled by users. Executives from Intuit, Stripe, Asana and Canva describe possible uses: invoicing, cash flow tracking, project management and content creation. Three small business owners share their experiences: a grocer says he saved at least 15 minutes on payroll by photographing timesheets, a shoe shop founder had her email automations audited, and a tree grower describes the tool as an assistant he had been waiting for to lighten his workload. Meta says the tool is free for most uses, with paid plans available.
