Meta says Enterprise Platform will bring its AI technology to businesses

An initial focus on enterprise products

Meta says it is starting Meta Enterprise Platform to bring its AI technology to businesses and developers. Founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg announced the initiative as a new pillar of the company’s business. The intended outcome, according to the announcement, is a set of products and services that companies can deploy for their own operations.

Zuckerberg identifies the Muse agent, Meta Business Agent, Muse API and Muse Code among the technologies in the platform’s initial focus. He says the effort will draw on Meta’s models, agents, infrastructure and business relationships. For prospective customers, these names establish the announced product scope, but the statement does not explain how the individual offerings will work together.

The announcement does not specify when customers can obtain these offerings, which countries will have access, supported platforms or versions, or compatibility requirements. Incoming platform chief Chirantan Desai says security and privacy are incorporated into Meta’s enterprise products from the outset. That statement supplies no details about particular controls or deployment requirements, leaving those practical questions unanswered for businesses assessing the offering.

Desai will lead the initiative

Zuckerberg says Desai will join Meta as Chief Enterprise Platform Officer and report directly to him. According to the announcement, Desai comes from MongoDB, where he served as CEO and President. His earlier roles included leading product and engineering at Cloudflare and serving as President and COO at ServiceNow.

Desai describes the platform’s purpose as turning Meta’s AI stack into deployable business products and services. He also sets out an ambition for Meta to become a destination for enterprises seeking to scale their businesses. These are stated objectives for the initiative; the announcement reports no customer outcomes from the platform.
