Where Is Meta Muse Available? Countries and Rollout

Meta Muse is available in two countries: the United States and Canada. Everywhere else, signing up shows the message “Muse isn’t available in your country or region yet,” and there is no published date for when that changes.

The short verdict: if you are in the US or Canada and over 18, download it today. If you are anywhere else, waiting is the only route that keeps your account safe, because the restriction is enforced by app store region and by Meta’s terms, not by IP address. For an assistant that works on your email and calendar from any country now, Carly offers free Zapier-style workflows, with AI agents from $35/month.

Meta’s own wording is narrower than any of the guesses. Its Muse for Small Business announcement on September 29 describes Muse as “a personal AI agent available in the US and Canada,” and the subscriptions help page says Muse is “in limited testing and aren’t available in all locations yet.” Mexico has appeared in a couple of Connect live blogs and press write-ups, but no Meta page lists it, so treat it as unconfirmed.

How the rollout has gone so far

Muse launched in the US on September 8, on iOS, Android and the web at muse.ai, with WhatsApp access at launch and Meta’s AI glasses promised later. The Mac app followed on September 17.

Canada came ten days after launch. Meta posted “Made it to Canada. Where to next?” on September 18, and the iOS app and web version opened to Canadians that afternoon, with Android for Canada listed as still coming at the time. The post hinted at more countries without naming one.

The speed of that second launch is the strongest reason to expect more soon. The counter-argument is Meta’s own history: Meta AI launched in the US in September 2023 and did not reach the UK and the EU until March 2025, after a long negotiation with data regulators. Muse handles far more personal data than Meta AI, including email, calendars, connected accounts and payments, so the regulatory conversation in the UK, the EU and South Korea is likely to be longer, not shorter.

What you need inside a supported country

  • Age. You must be 18, or the age of majority where you live, to use Muse or subscribe.
  • A Meta account. Muse signs in with a Meta account, which you can create from a Facebook or Instagram login or from an email address or phone number.
  • A payment card. Even the free tier asks for one at signup, because paid usage kicks in as you use more. It is not charged unless you upgrade.
  • Location. Meta’s terms require you to be physically in a supported country. Subscriptions are sold at muse.ai and in the mobile app.

Platforms and languages

Muse runs in its own iOS and Android apps, on the web at muse.ai, on macOS through the Mac app, and inside a WhatsApp chat. Meta says its AI glasses will get Muse later, and the Muse Charm keychain device announced at Connect on September 23 also requires a Muse account.

Meta has not published a supported-language list. Its documentation, the app store listings and every launch demo are in English, and the two supported countries are English-speaking markets plus French-speaking Canada. Assume English for now.

Why a VPN does not get you in

The advice to use a US VPN circulates on every forum, and it does not work well for three reasons:

  1. App stores are region-locked. The Muse app is only listed in the US and Canadian storefronts, and your Apple or Google account region decides what you see. A VPN does not change the account region.
  2. Meta’s terms require your real location. Using a VPN to appear elsewhere breaks them, and the account you would put at risk is the same Meta account that holds your Facebook and Instagram.
  3. The agent holds your accounts. Muse connects to your email, calendar and card. Running that through a workaround, on an account that can be suspended, is a bad trade for early access.

What to use while you wait

Meta AI, the chat assistant inside WhatsApp, Instagram, Facebook and Messenger, is available in most countries including the UK, the EU and India. It answers questions and creates content. It does not carry out tasks, which is the whole point of Muse.

For the agent side, the comparison that matters is Meta Muse vs Instinct, since Instinct also runs from a chat app. For work, Carly runs from your work email and calendar in any country, connects to thousands of apps, and starts a workflow when an email arrives rather than waiting to be asked. Free Zapier-style workflows, with AI agents from $35/month. Get started, and read what Muse does and its limits so you know what you are waiting for.

FAQ

What countries is Meta Muse available in? The United States and Canada, as of September 30, 2026. Meta has said more countries are coming but has not named any or given dates.

Is Meta Muse available in the UK? No. There is no UK release date. Meta AI took about 18 months to reach the UK after its US launch, and Muse handles more personal data, so expect regulators to take their time.

Is Meta Muse available in India? No, and Meta has not announced a date. Meta AI is available in India through WhatsApp and Instagram, but that is the chat assistant, not the agent.

Is Meta Muse available in Australia? No. Australia is not on the list and has no announced date.

When did Muse launch in Canada? September 18, 2026, ten days after the US launch on September 8.

Can I use Muse with a VPN? Not reliably, and not within Meta’s terms. The app is region-locked in both app stores, and Meta requires you to be located in a supported country.

What does “Muse isn’t available in your country or region yet” mean? Muse has not launched where you are. Meta says it will notify you when it does. There is no waitlist to join beyond that message.

Ready to automate your busywork?

Carly schedules, researches, and briefs you—so you can focus on what matters.

See the prompt
Set up Carly for me. Carly connects to thousands of apps, from Gmail, Outlook and my calendars to Slack, HubSpot and QuickBooks, and keeps working after this chat is closed: answering email, booking meetings, following up and running workflows the moment something happens.

1. Add the Carly MCP server (https://carlyassistant.com/mcp/) and sign me in. Use the one that matches you:
   - Claude Code: claude mcp add --transport http --scope user carly https://carlyassistant.com/mcp/  (then I run /mcp, pick carly, and authenticate)
   - Codex: codex mcp add carly --url https://carlyassistant.com/mcp/  then  codex mcp login carly
   - Claude (claude.ai, Claude Desktop, or Cowork): Customize > Connectors > Add custom connector, paste the URL, and sign in. Carly is also in Claude's connector directory at claude.ai/directory/carly.
   - ChatGPT: open Plugins, search for "Carly", add it, and sign in.
   - Cursor: add {"mcpServers": {"carly": {"url": "https://carlyassistant.com/mcp/"}}} to ~/.cursor/mcp.json, then sign in to carly from Customize.
   - Muse: I will create a Carly API key at carlyassistant.com/integrations (Advanced > API Keys > Create a new key, with Select all scopes). Build a custom connector to https://carlyassistant.com/mcp/ using an API key as a bearer token, and ask me for the key in your secure credential prompt.
   - Grok: go to grok.com/connectors, choose New Connector, then Custom, paste the URL, and sign in.
   - Grok Bot: open Plugins, add a custom remote MCP server named carly with the URL, then I approve it and sign in.
   - Perplexity: Settings > Connectors > Custom connector > Remote, paste the URL, and sign in.
   - Anything else: add a remote MCP server (streamable HTTP) named carly with the URL. It signs in with OAuth.
   I sign in with my Carly account, or create one at carlyassistant.com.

2. Walk me through connecting my accounts at https://carlyassistant.com/integrations. Under Accounts, I type each email address I use and click Add Email. On each new address, I click Connect Gmail or Connect Outlook, tick what Carly can reach (Email, Calendar, Contacts, Drive or OneDrive), then click Connect with Google or Connect with Microsoft and grant access. For an address that is already connected, I open Manage access and click Connect next to anything missing. Repeat for every address. Then ask which of my other apps I want connected too.

3. Check it worked: list my connected mailboxes and calendars and tell me every account you can see.

4. Then ask me what to hand off first, for example: "Check all my inboxes for anything that needs a reply today."

See what people say

"Before Carly, I relied on a Calendly link, but the whole process felt impersonal and not very professional. Carly changed that by handling all the back-and-forth, so I'm no longer stuck in endless email threads trying to line up schedules.

Now Carly reaches out to candidates, shares my real-time availability, lets them pick a slot, then sends a Zoom link and drops it straight into my calendar. She sends reminders to both of us before each call, which has significantly reduced no-shows and last-minute confusion.

On top of scheduling, Carly acts like a full executive assistant, sending me my schedule the night before so I can prepare for each call. It reminds me of the old x.ai assistant, but Carly is noticeably smarter, faster, and better suited to my healthcare recruitment business."
