- Muse added native iPad support in its latest update, roughly a month after its iOS debut and weeks as the top free app in Apple's App Store.
- Meta released a Mac version of Muse about a week after the original mobile launch, with the iPad update leveraging larger screen real estate and iPadOS multitasking capabilities.
- Muse expanded its third-party connectors to include Canva, Dropbox, Figma, QuickBooks, GitHub, Zoom, Asana, Klaviyo, Granola, and Notion, targeting small business owners with autonomous marketing, client pitches, and product-page creation.
- Meta is positioning Muse as an agentic AI tool competing with OpenClaw, ChatGPT's Dots, and Grok Bot.
- Meta took 15 years to release a dedicated Instagram iPad app, making Muse's faster iPad turnaround a clear signal of the company's AI priority.
- Meta announced a standalone Tamagotchi-like device called Muse Charm that runs the AI agent without a smartphone, and is working to bring Muse to its smart glasses.
Why it matters: The iPad turnaround took a month versus 15 years for Instagram — that ratio tells you where Meta's budget and attention are pointed. Small businesses now get an agent that autonomously plans marketing and pitches, potentially shifting Muse from a consumer download hit into an actual workflow tool, while Meta preps dedicated hardware (Muse Charm) and smart glasses to lock the AI into its own devices.
