Meta has launched an early access program for new Muse features. Interested users can request access directly through Muse.

Meta's early access program allows users to test upcoming Muse functionality before general release. The enrollment process is straightforward: users request to join the program by asking Muse directly. Muse, Meta's AI assistant, continues expanding its capabilities. The early access approach enables Meta to gather user feedback and refine features before wider deployment. This follows Meta's pattern of testing new AI features with select audiences. The program provides early adopters an opportunity to influence development while helping Meta identify potential issues. No timeline was specified for when features will move from early access to full rollout. Users interested in participating should initiate contact through Muse to join the list.
