  "summary": "Meta is expanding its AI agent Muse to small businesses, adding new integrations including Shopify, Dropbox, Slack, and more. The tech giant says the agent can help owners run their business and find new customers by providing context of a company's whole operation, making it more useful than a standalone chatbot. Muse can also link to various Meta platforms like Instagram professional account analytics, Facebook Pages, and Meta ad accounts, as well as other software popular among small businesses such as Asana, Box, Canva, Figma, and Stripe. The AI agent is available for free with usage limits, and businesses can purchase a subscription plan for more usage. Meta is focused on expanding its AI tools beyond the consumer and into the enterprise market, with the launch of Muse for Small Business coming a day after the introduction of the \"Meta Enterprise Platform.\"",
