confirmed by 2 independent sources updated October 2, 2026

Meta is expanding its Muse agent for small businesses with integration with 15 services and Facebook, Instagram, and Meta Ads business accounts. The Muse for Small Business version is free with usage limits; higher usage requires a subscription.

Meta has announced an expansion of its Muse agent for small businesses. Owners can connect their Facebook and Instagram business accounts as well as Meta Ads accounts, giving the agent access to analytics and customer interactions. According to Meta, the agent is meant to use this context to carry out multi-step tasks related to running the business and finding new customers.

The expansion includes integration with 15 services: Shopify, Dropbox, Slack, Asana, Box, Canva, Figma, Granola, HighLevel, Intuit QuickBooks, Klaviyo, Lovable, Notion, Stripe, and Zoom. The Muse for Small Business product is available for free with usage limits. A subscription can be purchased for higher usage; sources do not state its price or the specific limits of the free version.

Connecting the agent to operational, financial, and customer data also requires setting permissions. Gartner analyst Wayne Hankins recommends defining the available data, tools, and decisions before deployment, limiting access to the necessary scope, and ensuring human approval as well as monitoring of the agent's activity for sensitive actions.

The free variant allows trying out the service, but the cost of greater usage cannot be determined from the information provided. It is also important for a company to decide which data and activities the agent will have access to.
