Meta announced on Monday the launch of the Meta Enterprise Platform, an initiative aimed at expanding its AI offerings for professional and corporate clients. The company plans to provide its complete technology stack, including Muse, Meta Business Agent, Muse API, and Muse Code, to businesses and developers. This launch builds on Muse, the AI personal assistant launched earlier this month, which can perform tasks such as sending emails and booking travel. To lead this new venture, Meta has recruited Chirantan "CJ" Desai, former CEO of MongoDB.

Desai outlines Meta's ambition and potential financial fallout

Chirantan Desai states that in the coming years, AI will profoundly transform how organizations innovate, grow, serve their customers, and manage their operations. He believes that Meta is uniquely positioned to bring together advanced models and leading agents, with a history of helping millions of advertisers and hundreds of millions of businesses. He specifies that the Meta Enterprise Platform will aim to convert this AI stack into products and services that businesses can use for their own operations. This initiative could also allow Meta to recoup some of the significant investments made in AI.
