Meta's AI agent Muse rockets to No. 2 on the US App Store
🧒 Discovery
Meta released a smart assistant that can act on its own, and so many people downloaded it within days that it became one of the most popular apps in the country.
📰 Essential
Launched on September 8, Meta's autonomous AI agent Muse has already topped 83,000 iOS downloads and climbed to No. 2 on the US App Store, in a market where several tech giants are racing to launch their own agents.
🔬 Expert
Muse enters an already crowded consumer-agent market: rival Instinct (valued at $2.5 billion) is gaining fast, ChatGPT hit 500,000 downloads in its first week, and both Google and Anthropic have their own agents too. The launch comes right after Meta paid an $18 billion settlement over social media harms, a backdrop that weighs on user trust.
