Meta has launched Muse, an AI assistant available only in the United States and Canada, and there are promo codes that give a billion free tokens to the first 30 users who redeem them within 48 hours. Access from Spain requires a VPN.
The race to build AI assistants is no longer just between models that answer questions. A few weeks ago, Meta introduced **Muse**, a personal AI agent that competes with alternatives like OpenAI's Dots or SpaceX's Grok. The problem for anyone living outside North America is that, for now, it is only available to users in the **United States** and **Canada**.
## What Muse is and why it hasn't reached Spain
Muse is not your average chatbot. It can connect to Instagram, WhatsApp, email, Shopify and hundreds of tools like GitHub or GoHighLevel. In other words, it works as an assistant that acts inside the apps you already use, rather than as a separate tab.
The geographic restriction is standard practice for big tech product launches: they test in one market first and expand later. That leaves European users with two options: wait or look for technical workarounds.
## The code that hands out a billion tokens
Alongside the launch, promo codes have been circulating that grant **a billion tokens** in free credit. The mechanism is the usual one for this kind of campaign: both the person who shares the code and the person who redeems it receive the same amount.
There are two conditions worth reading before getting your hopes up. The code must be entered under **Settings → General** within **48 hours** of creating the account. And it is only valid for a maximum of **30 people**: from the 31st onwards, it doesn't work.
## The VPN as a way in
To access it from Spain, you need a VPN with a US location. This has become the popular route to bypass geo-blocks, though it's worth knowing that it goes against the terms of service of many platforms and that some detect and block these connections.
That's where the cost comes in. Many VPNs offer free trial periods of around **7 days**, enough to create the account and redeem the code. If you don't cancel before the trial ends, the subscription renews and that's the end of the free ride.
One last warning: tokens are usage credit, not money. They are consumed as you use the assistant and cannot be withdrawn. Before handing over personal data or connecting accounts, it's worth checking who is behind any promotion.
