Meta launches enterprise AI platform, hires MongoDB CEO

Meta announced Monday the launch of Meta Enterprise Platform, a new initiative aimed at expanding its AI offerings to businesses and corporate customers. The company has hired Chirantan “CJ” Desai, CEO of database company MongoDB, to lead the effort.
The platform builds on the momentum of Muse, Meta’s personal AI assistant launched earlier this month, which can perform tasks such as sending emails and booking travel. Meta says it will bring its full technology stack—including Muse, Meta Business Agent, Muse API, and Muse Code—to businesses and developers. In a statement, Desai said AI will redefine how organizations innovate, grow, serve customers, and run operations, and that Meta is well positioned because it combines advanced models and leading agents with a proven track record of helping millions of advertisers and hundreds of millions of businesses scale.
The move is aimed at helping Meta see a return on its heavy AI spending. MongoDB’s shares dropped more than 17% on the news of Desai’s sudden departure, and the database maker appointed Dev Ittycheria, who previously held the role, as interim CEO while the board searches for a permanent replacement.
