1 story1 Meta Opens Muse AI Connector Platform With PayPal, Shopify, and Expedia↩︎ AI Sep 22, 12:23 PM EDT 35/15
The Muse AI assistant now supports agentic checkout and travel booking through a series of new integrations with commerce and travel providers. Shopify CEO Tobi Lütke announced a partnership to enable checkout via Shop Pay across all Shopify stores, while a deal with PayPal extends these capabilities to its worldwide merchant network. Other partners include Expedia for hotel and trip planning and Instacart for automated grocery shopping and delivery.
Meta established a connector platform to shift the assistant from a discovery tool into a transaction layer capable of executing real-world payments. This allows users to convert simple prompts, such as "Taco Tuesday," into a ready-to-checkout grocery cart. Alexandr Wang stated the platform is open for business as Meta adds more verticals to the ecosystem.
