After announcing a host of new features for Meta’s Muse AI app at its Connect 2026 developer conference this week, the company is opening up requests for early access. Meta shared on Friday that you can now ask Muse to put you on the list to try out its latest capabilities before anyone else.

Meta posted a link to a prompt on X that, when shared with Muse, will log that you’re interested in joining Meta’s early access program.

(If you don’t want to click through, you can just copy and paste the prompt: “Can you let the Muse team know I want to be part of the Muse early access program?”)

While typically companies offer pilot tests or betas with select users, they often A/B test with a randomized group to gain feedback and measure results. In this case, however, Meta is looking for AI enthusiasts to try its features first. That tactic could help it stay ahead of the competition, given that this crowd tends to use multiple AI apps and agents and has a good understanding of the market.

As to what new features will be? Meta teased many of those at Connect, including the launch of a digital avatar for Muse that you’ll be able to video chat with, tons more shopping partnerships and connectors, and an expansion of the Muse Mac app, which will soon be able to use your computer to complete various tasks.

The company also said that Muse would be coming to Meta’s lineup of AI glasses, so users can interact with the agent just by speaking a wake word, then issuing a command.
