Meta’s new AI app Muse has passed 83,000 iOS downloads in the United States since its Tuesday launch, according to data from market intelligence firm Sensor Tower.. Muse is currently available only in the U.S. Sensor Tower’s data showed the app had reached No.
2 on Apple’s App Store Top Charts.. The early uptake trails some of Meta’s previous app launches. Threads drew more than 4.3 million U.S. downloads on its launch day, while the Meta AI app recorded 108,000 U.S. downloads during its debut, according to Sensor Tower..
Muse is also running behind ChatGPT’s early pace in the U.S. ChatGPT topped 500,000 installs in less than a week after launch, when the U.S. was also its only market, implying an average of about 83,300 downloads per day.. Muse took roughly twice as long to reach a similar daily run rate.
The app was still climbing on iOS, moving from fourth place on the U.S. App Store on Wednesday to second place.. The Android version has gained less traction so far.
Muse ranked No. 338 in the Productivity category on Google Play, and Android download figures were not yet available.. Muse is also accessible on the web and through WhatsApp.
Those channels are not included in the download estimates.. Meta is positioning Muse as part of its push into consumer-facing AI agents, as competition grows from products including Google’s Gemini Spark, Anthropic’s Claude Cowork and Instinct, a text-based AI agent recently valued at $2.5 billion..
Instinct has raised $350 million and has been rolling out new features quickly. This week it added email addresses for users and announced a social networking feature that lets one user’s Instinct agent communicate with friends’ agents to coordinate plans.. Instinct has also launched integrations with Stripe and 1Password, along with a location-sharing feature that allows the agent to carry out tasks that require a user’s current location..
Muse’s launch came days after Meta agreed to an $18 billion multistate settlement in a lawsuit over social media consumer harms. The company has also faced data scandals and multiple privacy-related enforcement actions and fines from the U.S. Federal Trade Commission..
