Meta Enterprise Platform: What should corporate users expect?

Meta Enterprise Platform is focused on bringing Meta’s AI technology to companies and developers. The platform brings together its full technology stack, including Muse agent, Meta Business Agent, Muse API, Muse Code, and other AI and enterprise technologies over time.

Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg described it as the “next major pillar” of Meta’s business. The idea is to turn Meta’s existing AI models, agents, infrastructure, and business experience into products and services that companies can deploy for their own operations.

In the blog post, Desai highlighted that security and privacy will be built into Meta's enterprise products from the outset. The platform is built with enterprise-grade controls, guardrails, and measurement for larger businesses.
