Meta launches enterprise AI platform, hires MongoDB CEO to lead new initiative

Meta announced the launch of "Meta Enterprise Platform," a new initiative to expand its AI offerings to businesses and corporate customers. The company hired Chirantan "CJ" Desai, CEO of MongoDB, to lead this effort. The platform builds on Muse, Meta's personal AI assistant launched earlier this month, which can perform tasks such as sending emails and booking travel. Meta plans to bring its full technology stack—including Muse, Meta Business Agent, Muse API, and Muse Code—to businesses and developers. Desai stated that "Over the coming years, AI will fundamentally redefine how organizations of all sizes innovate, grow, serve customers, and run business operations," adding that Meta has a unique role because it combines advanced models and leading agents with a proven track record of helping millions of advertisers and hundreds of millions of businesses scale. The move could help Meta see a return on its substantial AI investments. MongoDB's shares dropped more than 17% following the news of Desai's sudden departure, and the company appointed Dev Ittycheria—his predecessor in the role—as interim CEO while the board searches for a permanent replacement.
