Meta Launches Enterprise AI Platform, Hires MongoDB CEO to Lead It
Meta hired MongoDB CEO Chirantan “CJ” Desai to lead its enterprise AI push, sending MongoDB shares down more than 17%; Dev Ittycheria became interim CEO. The platform gives businesses and developers access to Muse, Meta Business Agent, Muse API and Muse Code.
Meta announced in September 2026 that it is launching “Meta Enterprise Platform,” a new initiative designed to bring the company’s AI products and services to businesses and corporate customers. The social media company also hired Chirantan “CJ” Desai, the CEO of database software company MongoDB, to lead the effort.
The new platform builds on Muse, Meta’s personal AI assistant launched earlier in September 2026 that can perform tasks such as sending emails and booking travel. Meta says the enterprise initiative will offer businesses and developers access to its full technology stack, including Muse, Meta Business Agent, Muse API, and Muse Code.
“Over the coming years, AI will fundamentally redefine how organizations of all sizes innovate, grow, serve customers, and run business operations,” Desai said in a statement. “Meta Enterprise Platform will focus on turning its AI stack into products and services that companies can deploy for their own businesses.”
The launch could help Meta generate returns on its ongoing AI investments, according to the source reporting.
Desai’s departure had an immediate impact on MongoDB. The company’s shares fell more than 17% following the announcement of his exit. MongoDB said it appointed Dev Ittycheria — who previously held the chief executive role — as interim CEO while the board searches for a permanent replacement.
