A Muse invite code gives you and the friend who shared it 1 billion Muse tokens, if you redeem it within 48 hours of joining. Here's how the referral works step by step, who can use it, what 1 billion tokens is really worth, how fast an agent burns through them and what to check before you let Muse act for you.

A Muse invite code is the fastest way to get a big pile of free Muse tokens. Redeem a friend's code in Settings within 48 hours of joining Muse, Meta's new personal AI agent, and you both get 1 billion tokens to spend on tasks.

That sounds huge. It is generous, but it's worth far less than the code sites claim, and the 48-hour rule quietly catches a lot of new users who sign up first and look for a code later. This guide covers how the Muse referral program works, who can use it and what the tokens really buy.

Key Takeaways

  • A Muse invite code gives both you and the friend who shared it 1 billion Muse tokens, Muse announced on September 16, 2026.
  • Redeem it in Settings within 48 hours of creating your account.
  • Each person can invite up to 20 friends, and Meta AI's Threads account said codes have 20 to 30 uses depending on rollout.
  • Muse is open to adults in the US and Canada only.
  • By our math, 1 billion tokens is about 10 weeks of the free plan, or roughly $9 of value at the $20 Power plan's rate, not the $50 that many code sites advertise.
  • Meta hasn't said whether bonus tokens expire, so spend them.

What Is Muse, Meta's Personal AI Agent?

Muse is an AI agent that does tasks for you. It isn't just a chatbot.

Meta launched it in the US on September 8, 2026, on iOS, Android and muse.ai. "It doesn't just answer questions, it actually does the work," Meta wrote in its launch post, describing an agent that can send emails, book travel, fill in forms and keep working on long jobs after you close the app.

Each user gets a private cloud computer with its own browser, which Meta calls Muse Secure VM. A second agent, Sentinel, must approve every time Muse reaches the internet. It also asks you before sensitive steps such as a purchase.

Muse runs on Muse Spark, Meta's own model. It reached Canada on September 18, iPhone in Canada reported, and a version for small businesses followed on September 29.

Every task costs tokens. Tokens are the units Meta uses to meter how much work the agent does for you, from reading a web page to writing an email, which is why an extra billion of them gets people's attention.

How Does the Muse Invite Code Work?

It's a two-sided referral. Someone who already uses Muse shares a short code, you enter it after you sign up, and both accounts get 1 billion tokens.

Muse announced referrals on X on September 16. The same day, Meta's chief AI officer, Alexandr Wang, posted his own code with the rules in one line: "Redeem my code in Settings within 48 hours of joining and we'll both get 1 billion Muse tokens," he wrote on X.

Here are the main rules, taken from Meta's own posts:

  • Both sides win: you get 1 billion tokens, and so does the person whose code you used.
  • 48 hours: the clock starts when you create your account, not when you get the code, so have one ready before you sign up.
  • One code per account: codes from several friends don't stack.
  • Limited uses: each person can invite up to 20 friends, and Meta AI's Threads account said codes have "20-30 depending on rollout" in a September 22 reply.
  • A bonus for 20: people who fill every slot get early access to new features, according to posts from Meta staff, with voice calling named as one example.

How Do You Get 1 Billion Muse Tokens Step by Step?

It takes about five minutes. Most of that is the sign-up itself.

  • Step 1, check you qualify: you need to be 18 or older and in the US or Canada.
  • Step 2, get a code first: ask a friend who already uses Muse for their code before you sign up, so the 48-hour clock doesn't start while you're still hunting for one.
  • Step 3, sign up officially: use the Muse app from the App Store or Google Play, or go to muse.ai.
  • Step 4, redeem the code: open Settings and find the option to redeem an invite code, which users report sits under General, then enter the code exactly as written.
  • Step 5, check your balance: open the usage screen and confirm the tokens arrived.
  • Step 6, share your own code: you now have one too, and every friend who redeems it within their own 48 hours gives you another 1 billion tokens, up to 20 friends.

If the tokens don't show up, contact support while you're still inside the 48 hours. Don't wait.

Who Can Use a Muse Invite Code?

Adults in places where Muse runs. Meta's subscriptions help page says you must be at least 18, or the age of majority where you live, and that Muse is "in limited testing" and isn't available in all locations yet.

Today that means the US and Canada. Everyone else sees a message saying Muse isn't available in their country or region yet, and Meta hasn't given a date for more countries.

A few more limits apply:

  • New accounts only: users report the redeem option disappears after the first 48 hours.
  • One per person: a second code won't add more tokens.
  • Real people: the program rewards inviting friends, and while Meta hasn't published anti-abuse rules, making fake accounts to farm tokens is exactly the kind of thing companies tend to ban once they notice it.

Where Can You Find a Muse Invite Code Safely?

From someone you know. That's the safest source, and they get the same reward for helping you.

Search for "Muse invite code" and you'll find dozens of sites listing codes. Most are run by people who earn 1 billion tokens each time a stranger uses their code, which isn't a scam by itself, since the rules allow sharing, but it explains why the pages exist and why their claims run big.

Watch for these problems:

  • Used-up codes: each code has a cap of about 20 uses, so a popular public code is often full. Wang's own code went out to a huge audience the day referrals began.
  • Wrong values: some sites say 1 billion tokens is worth $50.
  • Fake sign-up links: only sign up in the official app or at muse.ai, because no real code needs you to log in on someone else's site first.
  • Requests for your details: nobody needs your password, card or phone code to give you a referral code.

If a code fails, ask a friend. Don't burn your 48 hours trying random codes from list sites.

What If You Missed the 48-Hour Window?

Then you probably can't redeem a Muse invite code on that account. Users report the option disappears once the window closes, and Meta's posts make the time limit part of the deal.

You still have two ways to get more tokens:

  • Invite others: your account has its own code, and every friend who joins and redeems it in time gives you 1 billion tokens.
  • Use the weekly allowance: the free plan refills every week.

Don't make a second account just to redeem a code. It breaks the spirit of a program built on inviting real friends, and it's risky if Meta later cleans up duplicate accounts and takes their tokens with them.

How Much Are 1 Billion Muse Tokens Worth?

Less than code sites suggest. Meta doesn't publish what one Muse token buys, so the only fair yardstick is its own pricing.

The help page lists two paid plans. Power costs $20 a month for 500 million Muse tokens per week, and Maximum costs $100 a month for 3 billion. The free plan is "available for free with a usage limit," which Zuckerberg put at 100 million tokens a week at launch, according to Gizmodo's first look.

PlanPriceTokens per week1 billion tokens equals
Free$0100 million (per Zuckerberg)About 10 weeks of free use
Power$20 a month500 millionAbout 2 weeks, or roughly $9
Maximum$100 a month3 billionAbout 2 days, or roughly $8

Our math: Power gives about 2.2 billion tokens a month for $20, so 1 billion tokens is worth about $9 at that rate. Maximum works out at about $8 per billion. Neither is a Meta figure.

Still, a full code is a real perk. Twenty invites would add 20 billion tokens, which is about 200 weeks of the free plan and far more agent time than most people will ever use, even if the cash value looks small.

How Far Do Muse Tokens Actually Go?

Further than you might think for one-off tasks. Not as far for jobs that run all day.

Gizmodo's reviewer made drawings, songs, small games and animated websites, and that used about 6% of the free weekly allowance. Adding a fake desktop computer with working apps took it to about 11%. At that pace, 1 billion tokens would cover about 90 sessions like that.

Recurring jobs are different. Users on Reddit have reported that a job search running every few hours used about 31% of a week's free tokens, while others said normal daily use took about a third of the week. These are user reports, not Meta data.

The pattern makes sense. An agent spends tokens on more than its answers, because it also plans, reads web pages, takes screenshots of what it sees and checks its own work, and a task that repeats every hour does all of that again each time.

How Do You Make Your Muse Tokens Last?

Spend them on work you'd otherwise do by hand. Then cut the background jobs you forgot about.

  • Check scheduled tasks: recurring jobs are the biggest drain, so run them daily instead of hourly if daily is enough for what you need.
  • Batch small requests: one clear request with five parts usually costs less than five chats.
  • Be specific: give the exact site, date or file.
  • Stop runaway tasks: if Muse keeps retrying a page that won't load, cancel the task and try again later instead of letting it loop through your weekly allowance.
  • Watch the usage screen: check it after a big task.
  • Remember the free plan: bonus tokens are extra, and you may never need a paid plan at all.

What Should You Check Before Letting Muse Act for You?

Free tokens make it tempting to hand Muse everything. Slow down on anything that can't be undone.

Mistakes have already happened. A YouTuber who let Muse sell an item on Facebook Marketplace said it shared his home pickup address with a buyer, as Dexerto reported. Meta said Muse followed his instructions and asked for permission.

Amazon also blocked Muse from shopping its store in late September, saying the access broke its Conditions of Use, iPhone in Canada reported. Meta said Muse can't see people's passwords or payment details.

Before you give Muse a task, check these:

  • What "Allow Always" covers: pick "ask me each time" for payments, sending messages and sharing personal details, at least until you've watched the agent handle that exact task well a few times.
  • Which accounts you connect: connect only what the task needs.
  • Training settings: Meta says you can opt out of your chats being used to train its AI, and it's on by default.
  • The activity log: Muse keeps a record of what it did and plans to do, so read it after big tasks.

Our guide to AI agent permissions covers the Muse incidents in more detail.

What Is Still Unclear About Muse Tokens?

Quite a lot. Meta has published the plans and the referral basics, but not the fine print that would tell you how long a billion tokens really lasts.

  • Expiry: Meta hasn't said whether bonus tokens expire.
  • Order of use: it's not clear whether Muse spends bonus tokens or weekly tokens first.
  • Paid plans: Meta hasn't said whether bonus tokens stack on top of Power or Maximum, which matters if you're thinking about upgrading soon after you redeem.
  • What a token buys: there's no public price list for an email, a search or a booking.
  • How long the offer lasts: referral programs often shrink once an app has grown.

So use bonus tokens for real tasks while you have them. Don't build a business process that depends on them.

Should You Use a VPN for a Muse Invite Code?

No. Some guides tell people outside the US and Canada to sign up through a VPN, but we don't recommend it.

Meta's help page says you must be in a country where Muse is available. Faking your location breaks that rule and could get the account shut, along with any tokens on it, and you'd be giving an agent access to your email and payments on an account that could disappear overnight.

Wait for an official launch instead. Muse went from one country to two in ten days. Meta hasn't promised more dates.

Why Did Meta Build a Muse Invite Code Program?

To grow fast. Referrals turn every new user into a salesperson, and tokens cost Meta far less than cash.

It worked, alongside heavy advertising. Muse topped 5 million installs in the US and Canada within 22 days of launch, PPC Land reported, citing Sensor Tower estimates, and by September 30 it ranked first overall on the US App Store and Google Play. Reaching 5 million US downloads took ChatGPT 56 days, by Sensor Tower's count.

Meta AI's Threads account gave the Muse referral program much of the credit, calling it "the playbook that got Muse to #1." Sensor Tower pointed to "Meta's aggressive advertising push" as well.

Both probably helped. For two weeks, Muse got up to half of Meta's own house ads, and downloads jumped 73% in a single day on September 16, the same day referrals launched.

What Can Builders Learn From the Muse Invite Code?

Pay referral rewards in your own product. A billion tokens sounds enormous, costs Meta little and only has value if you keep using Muse.

Four ideas are worth copying:

  • Reward both sides: when the person sharing and the person joining both win, sharing feels like a favor rather than a sales pitch.
  • Add a deadline: a 48-hour window pushes people to act during sign-up.
  • Cap it: a 20-invite limit stops one person from flooding the internet with a single code, even if it didn't stop the list sites.
  • Give a goal: early access for filling all 20 slots gives power users a reason to finish.

There are costs too. Big round numbers attract spam pages and confused users, and unclear rules on expiry make people distrust the reward. If you build a program like this, publish the terms in one place.
