# Mark Zuckerberg Says Muse Will Stay Free for 'a Huge Number of Tokens': Walmart, Sephora, Best Buy and More Sign on to Power Shopping

**Meta Platforms Inc.** (NASDAQ:META) CEO **Mark Zuckerberg** said Wednesday that the company’s personal artificial intelligence agent, Muse, will remain free for most users and unveiled a slate of new retail and productivity partnerships at the company’s Connect event.

## Free Now, Profit Later

Zuckerberg said Muse has “a novel business model,” betting the agent “will make you money” by making it “free for a huge number of tokens” rather than charging users upfront. 

Meta instead expects to eventually profit by “taking a small fee from transactions” Muse completes on users’ behalf, such as purchases, bookings or bill negotiations. 

Muse launched on Sept. 8, with the basic version free and subscription tiers priced at $20 and $100 a month for heavier use.

The company’s AI chief **Alexander Wan**g said the agent has already helped users save money on insurance, hunt down unclaimed refunds, and negotiate a cable bill down by $85 a month.

## **Retailers Are Racing to Plug in**

Wang announced that **Walmart Inc.**, **Best Buy Co Inc.**, **Gap Inc.**, **Sephora**, **Wayfair Inc.**, **Dick’s Sporting Goods Inc.**, **Ulta Beauty**, and **Fanatics** are integrating with Muse to power new in-app shopping experiences, alongside productivity tools **Box**, **GitHub**, **Granola**, and **Notion**.

**Expedia** is joining for travel planning, and **Instacart** for grocery orders. 

Muse already taps into **Shopify Inc.**‘s full product catalog, using **Stripe**‘s Link and Shop Pay to complete purchases, and has added **PayPal Holdings Inc.** support to expand global payments.

## **Over 1,500 Developers Are Already Building on It**

Muse was launched with connectors including **Spotify**, **Plaid**, and **Ticketmaster**.

Meta opened its connector platform to outside developers last week, and Wang said the company has already received more than 1,500 applications from developers looking to build their own integrations.

Analysts at JPMorgan said Muse could become the most widely used consumer AI app since **OpenAI**‘s ChatGPT.

**Price Action:** Shares closed 1.02% higher on Wednesday at $744.10 and fell 1.36%, according to Benzinga Pro. 

**Benzinga edge rankings** indicate Meta’s stock has a Momentum score in the 78th percentile and a Growth score in the 79th percentile.
