Meta is establishing a new business unit, the Meta Enterprise Platform, to bring its artificial intelligence capabilities to the corporate sector. The company announced on September 28, 2026, that Chirantan “CJ” Desai, formerly the chief executive of MongoDB, has been appointed to lead this new division. Desai will report directly to Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg.
The Meta Enterprise Platform will initially integrate several of Meta's AI offerings, including the recently introduced Muse agent, the Meta Business Agent, Muse API, and Muse Code. This move signals Meta's intention to leverage its advancements in AI for business applications, shifting from a primary focus on advertising and customer engagement to providing a suite of AI tools that companies can deploy for their own operations.
Desai brings extensive experience in enterprise software sales and leadership. Prior to his role at MongoDB, he held product and engineering leadership positions at Cloudflare and spent nearly eight years at ServiceNow, where he served as president and chief operating officer. In a statement, Desai indicated that the platform aims to transform Meta's AI stack into deployable products for businesses, emphasizing that security and privacy are foundational elements of these offerings. However, specific details regarding enterprise security specifications were not provided in the initial announcement.
The consumer-facing Muse agent, launched earlier in September, has seen significant user adoption, with estimates of over 3.4 million downloads within its first two weeks. Muse is designed to perform tasks such as sending emails and booking travel on behalf of users, operating within a secure virtual machine and requiring approval for sensitive actions. Meta Business Agent, already in use by over one million businesses across WhatsApp and Messenger, assists with customer inquiries, product recommendations, and lead qualification.
Meta has not yet detailed specific product availability, pricing, or the integrated functionalities of the Meta Enterprise Platform. The announcement outlines a strategic direction rather than a fully developed, purchasable package. The company's existing business tools, such as Meta for Business, which manage company presences on Meta's platforms, remain separate from this new enterprise AI initiative.
Meta's strategy for the enterprise sector mirrors efforts by other major technology companies that have expanded from consumer-focused services to enterprise solutions. The company aims to utilize its advanced models, leading agent technology, and large-scale infrastructure to support businesses in their growth and operational transformation.
