Meta Opens Early Access Program for New Muse Features
Users interested in trying upcoming Muse capabilities can request early access by asking the assistant to add them to a waitlist.

Meta has launched an early access program giving select users the chance to try new features for Muse, the company's AI assistant, ahead of a wider rollout.
According to the company, anyone interested in joining the program simply needs to ask Muse directly to be added to the list, a lightweight sign-up process that stands in contrast to more formal waitlist applications used elsewhere in the tech industry.
The move fits into a broader pattern among major technology companies of testing new AI capabilities with smaller groups of users before releasing them broadly. Early access programs allow companies to gather feedback and identify issues while limiting the exposure of unfinished features.
Meta has not detailed publicly which specific new capabilities are being tested through the program or when they might become available to all users. The company continues to develop Muse alongside its other AI products as competition in the consumer AI assistant space intensifies.
Users who join the early access program may see experimental features appear and change as testing continues, a common characteristic of pre-release software rollouts.
