Meta released new Muse features on September 25, 2026, saying it is expanding the app's capabilities with digital avatars, shopping integrations, and enhanced Mac app functionality. It is the company's first major update to Muse since its launch at Connect 2026.

Meta reported no specific benchmark scores or parameter counts, but the updates are designed to improve user interaction and task automation. That compares with its initial release, which focused on basic AI agent functionality.

Muse is built on Meta's AI platform and targets users seeking advanced AI integration for personal and professional tasks. Availability begins with an early access program, initially for AI enthusiasts and developers.

"Can you let the Muse team know I want to be part of the Muse early access program?", said Meta's X post. The company is looking for AI enthusiasts to try its features first, as they tend to use multiple AI apps and have a good understanding of the market.

The announcement follows Meta's Connect 2026 developer conference, where the company teased several new features. Meta framed the move as a way to gather feedback and stay ahead of the competition.

Meta did not specify the exact features or release timeline, and the open question remains about how the updates will be rolled out to the broader user base. The company said it will provide more details in the coming weeks.
