Meta [announced Muse for Small Business on September 29](https://about.fb.com/news/2026/09/introducing-muse-small-business/), adding business skills and connectors to the personal agent it introduced earlier this month. For an owner considering it, the immediate question is how much of the business Muse can see and what it can do with that access.

## The big change

Muse can now draw on connected business accounts and services, including Instagram professional analytics, Facebook Pages, Meta ad accounts and selected outside tools. Meta has added these features to its existing personal agent.

Access to social activity, sales and financial tools gives Muse more context for drafting work and flagging items. Owners choose which records to expose and which actions to approve. Meta has not supplied measured revenue or time savings from the new business features.

Meta says publishing, sending and spending require approval. Anyone evaluating Muse should check the permissions shown for each connector and the approval settings before granting access. The full connector list appears inside the app, while account access remains limited.

## What a connection gives Muse

The [September 8 launch of Muse](https://about.fb.com/news/2026/09/introducing-muse-personal-ai-agent/) described an agent that can use a browser and connected apps, continue work in the background and return for approval on sensitive actions. The September 29 release adds business-oriented skills and connections. Meta names Asana, Canva, Intuit QuickBooks, Shopify, Slack and Stripe among the third-party services, alongside its own business accounts. That list identifies compatible services; it does not describe every permission Muse requests within each one.

Meta's [connector instructions](https://www.meta.com/help/artificial-intelligence/1687253048996149/) say a user can open Settings → Connectors, review the information for a service and authorize it. The same help page says some connectors can be limited to retrieving information, and that disconnecting one stops further exchange. Information already used in a task may remain in Muse's memory or conversation history. Custom connectors are also possible, but Meta says it does not review them or how they use information.

The business announcement illustrates tasks with prompts to examine sales and campaigns, draft next week's advertising, or flag unusual expenses. These are Meta's suggested uses. Its quoted owner and partner comments do not establish a typical saving or a reliable accounting review. BIG CHANGE has not run Muse on a business account.

## Approval, access and cost

Meta says [on its business page](https://muse.ai/business) that nothing publishes, sends or spends without approval. Its [technical account of Muse's safety system](https://research.meta.ai/blog/security-and-safety-for-ai-agents-our-approach-with-muse/) describes a separate component, Sentinel, that evaluates requested connector actions against the user's permissions and can stop execution for a decision in the client. Meta also says low-risk or previously permitted activity can proceed without another prompt, and permissions can be scoped in different ways. Those are the company's descriptions of the controls; we have not tested their behavior with the new business connectors.

The [business page](https://muse.ai/business) says Muse is available to people aged 18 or over in the US and Canada. Meta's [subscription help page](https://www.meta.com/help/subscriptions/1021145227643680/) says Muse and subscriptions remain in limited testing and vary by location and account. It lists a free tier with a usage limit, a $20 monthly Power plan with 500 million Muse tokens a week, and a $100 monthly Maximum plan with 3 billion. Neither page sets out a separate business price, free-tier allowance, or which business tasks and connectors are included at each level. An eligible location therefore does not establish that every owner can use every announced connection today.
