Meta chases OpenAI, Anthropic with new AI coding app Muse Code

Meta entered the race for automated coding tools on Wednesday when it announced a new app for developers of artificial intelligence products, as it competes with other major AI labs for customers and revenue.

Dubbed Muse Code, Meta said in a blog post that the new product is an agentic coding tool that can perform “complex software engineering tasks” with large amounts of data, including planning, writing and validating code.

Agentic tools are software applications which are programmed to handle tasks without human supervision, though often someone will still make the final call on decisions or supervise the execution of tasks.
