Meta launches an Enterprise Platform division led by ex-MongoDB CEO CJ Desai, and Muse for Small Business
On Sept 28, 2026 Meta created the Meta Enterprise Platform, led by former MongoDB CEO Chirantan "CJ" Desai as Chief Enterprise Platform Officer reporting to Zuckerberg, with Muse, Meta Business Agent, the Muse API and Muse Code as launch products. On Sept 29 it launched Muse for Small Business in the US and Canada: free for most features, 15+ connectors, and approval required before publishing, sending or spending.

What happened
After its consumer agent Muse took off, Meta set up a dedicated enterprise business and pushed Muse to small businesses, which already run on its ad and messaging platforms.
Why it matters
Meta is now competing directly with Microsoft, Google, OpenAI and Anthropic for enterprise agent spending, not only consumer attention.
