Meta Launches Muse For Small Business With 15 App Connectors And Ad Account Access

Meta is expanding its Muse AI agent to small businesses, adding 15 third-party app connectors alongside access to Facebook Pages, Instagram professional analytics and Meta ad accounts to help owners manage marketing, finances, sales and other business tasks.

The launch comes just weeks after Meta introduced Muse as a personal AI agent capable of carrying out tasks across connected apps and the web. With Muse for Small Business, Meta is now positioning the agent as a digital operations tool for business owners who may not have dedicated teams for every function.

• Meta has launched Muse for Small Business with 15 named third-party app connectors, including Shopify, QuickBooks, Canva, Slack and Stripe.

What Can Meta Muse Do For Small Businesses?

Muse for Small Business can connect directly to Instagram professional account analytics, Facebook Pages and Meta advertising accounts. Meta says this allows the AI agent to understand information about a business, including what it sells, its brand voice and the questions customers regularly ask. Meta Newsroom

The bigger expansion comes through third-party integrations. Meta named 15 services supported by Muse: Asana, Box, Canva, Dropbox, Figma, Granola, HighLevel, Intuit QuickBooks, Klaviyo, Lovable, Notion, Shopify, Slack, Stripe and Zoom.

Business owners can choose which accounts to connect, allowing Muse to combine information from different services while working toward a goal. According to Meta, possible uses include analyzing annual sales and marketing campaigns to create a growth plan, assessing financial performance for unusual expenses and reviewing advertising performance before drafting a new campaign.

Muse can also proactively identify emails that may need responses and prepare first drafts, while its Ideas section suggests additional tasks the agent can handle. Engadget noted that access to business and creator analytics, advertising accounts and third-party tools gives Muse considerably more business context than the consumer-focused version originally launched earlier this month.

Meta Says Business Owners Remain In Control

Giving an AI agent access to advertising, financial, commerce and communication tools also raises questions about what actions it can take using that information.

Meta says users control which services Muse connects to and states that “nothing publishes, sends, or spends without your approval.” The company has previously said Muse operates inside a dedicated Muse Secure VM and requests permission before sensitive actions such as sending emails or making purchases.

Meta also says users can disconnect services or change the level of access they have granted. These are Meta’s stated safeguards, rather than an independent assessment of the security or reliability of connected business data.

Why Is Meta Targeting Small Businesses With Muse?

Meta has been testing Muse with businesses since before the agent became publicly available, and around one-third of early Muse users are already connecting the agent to some form of business account, Meta VP of AI Products Vishal Shah told Axios.

“People are using Muse to run their business,” Shah said. “We’re going to make it easier to do so.” Axios’ report on Meta’s small-business push

Meta highlighted Mulholland Grocery owner Tom Mulholland as one early user. Mulholland said he works around 65 hours per week and used Muse after discovering his store had been removed from Google Maps because he had missed an email.

The company is pitching those time-consuming administrative tasks as a key use case for Muse, particularly for owners who perform multiple roles themselves.

There is not a separate Muse application exclusively for businesses. Meta says the service remains free for most uses, while Axios reports that $20-per-month and $100-per-month subscription tiers are available for users who require higher usage limits.

Meta says it plans to add more connectors and skills in the coming months, extending the number of business systems Muse can work with.
