Meta’s AI agent Muse is now the No. 2 app in the US
Summary
Meta's new AI agent app, Muse, has been downloaded over 83,000 times on iOS in the United States, securing the No. 2 spot on the App Store's Top Charts. While this launch is significant for Meta's push into agentic AI, it pales in comparison to the debut numbers of its previous apps like Threads and Meta AI, and lags behind ChatGPT's initial launch pace. The app's Android version is currently faring less well. Muse's launch comes amid heightened competition from rivals like Instinct and follows Meta's recent $18 billion multistate settlement over social media harms, which may impact user trust. The numbers suggest a solid but not explosive start, with its performance worth monitoring as Meta bets heavily on the future of consumer-facing AI agents.
