Meta wants to sell its AI tools to your workplace — here's the new plan

If you've used Meta's AI assistant Muse as a consumer, the company now wants to sell a version of its whole AI toolkit to the place you work, too. Meta announced a new division on 28 September called Meta Enterprise Platform, built specifically to do that.

To run it, Meta hired CJ Desai away from MongoDB, where he had been chief executive for less than 11 months, having started in November 2025. Before that job, Desai led product and engineering at Cloudflare and was president and chief operating officer at ServiceNow, both companies that sell technology to businesses.

According to Meta, the new unit will offer companies access to its Muse agent, a business-focused Meta Business Agent, developer tools called Muse API and Muse Code, and the infrastructure needed to run all of them. Meta has not yet said what any of this will cost or exactly when it will launch.

Mark Zuckerberg, who Desai will report to directly, said the company's clear priority right now is getting its existing AI products in front of business customers, rather than building something entirely new just for them.

This isn't Meta's first attempt at selling tools to businesses rather than consumers: two earlier products, Workplace and Horizon Workrooms, have both been shut down, so this new push effectively replaces them with an AI-first offering instead, built around the same Muse technology consumers already use.

The timing follows a strong consumer moment for Meta's AI: Muse launched on 8 September and overtook ChatGPT as the top free app on Apple's iOS store, giving Meta a fresh success story to point to as it pitches the same technology to companies.

One immediate side effect was felt elsewhere: MongoDB's shares fell more than 20% on news of Desai's departure, a reminder that losing a chief executive barely a year into the job can rattle a company's investors just as much as any product announcement.

Desai said security and privacy are built into Meta's enterprise products from the outset, as they are with Muse, in Meta's announcement. Zuckerberg described the new unit as the next major pillar of Meta's business, alongside the apps and advertising tools that already help hundreds of millions of businesses reach their customers every day. Meta has not yet announced any pricing or a launch schedule.

For now, though, there is nothing to sign up for. Meta has confirmed the unit exists and who will run it, but has left the actual products, pricing and rollout timeline for a later announcement.

If you run a business and are curious, the practical step for now is to watch for Meta's first product and pricing announcements, which will show what the unit actually sells and on what terms.
