Meta makes a sales group to sell AI to companies

The Information reported on 9 November 2026 that Meta made a sales group for AI software. It will sell to small and mid-sized companies and to large companies. The report cites one source and postings for work at Meta. Meta plans a maximum of $145 billion in capital expenditures this year for its AI systems.

What is new

In September, Meta started the Meta Enterprise Platform. It sells the Muse Code coding tool, business agent software and Muse Spark models. Chirantan Desai, the former chief of MongoDB, leads it. The report said that Mark Zuckerberg called it the next major pillar. Meta also works with Accenture, Deloitte and IBM to put the software in companies.

The numbers

The report gives no sales results for the new group. In 2024, Meta saw strong demand from small companies that use its automated customer agents. Its Workplace software had 7 million paid subscribers in 2021. Meta ended it in 2024, after it struggled against Microsoft and Slack.

What is not known

In October, Meta told retailers such as Amazon to put its business agent on their websites. Sources said they refused. They did not want to give Meta more access to their customers, and they work on their own AI projects.

Insight: Meta needs paying buyers, but the best buyers limit its access

Meta says Muse costs much to operate, and it does not charge users at the start. Its free cash flow was negative $2.12 billion in the third quarter. This reads as a plan to turn free users into paid company deals. But retailers limit its access to their customers. Look for signed large deals from the consulting partners.
