From Shopify to Zoom: Meta (META.US) equips Muse with a complete small business toolbox

The Zhitong Finance App learned that Meta Platforms (META.US) launched Muse (Muse for Small Business) for small businesses on Tuesday, expanding new skills and application connections to its AI agents to help small businesses manage their operations.

Meta said companies can set goals for Muse, such as running a business or finding new customers, and let the intelligence perform tasks on its behalf. Users can connect to the tools they already use, including Asana, Box, Canva, Dropbox (DBX.US), Figma (FIG.US), Intuit (INTU.US) QuickBooks, Notion, Shopify (SHOP.US), Slack, Stripe, and Zoom (ZM.US), as well as their Facebook and Instagram business accounts.

The announcement follows Meta's disclosure on Monday: the company plans to launch a new enterprise platform and recruit MongoDB (MDB.US) CEO CJ Desai to lead the effort. The platform will include a Muse AI agent, an enterprise agent, and a programming tool.

Meta had a strong month on Wall Street, with shares rising 25% in September. This wave of gains followed the launch of Muse — Meta's personal AI agent — on September 8.
