Meta’s Muse tops US iOS downloads over ChatGPT in first ten days
Meta’s new personal AI agent app, Muse, logged roughly 730,000 US iOS downloads in its first ten days, according to Sensor Tower estimates. By contrast, OpenAI’s ChatGPT recorded about 697,000 US downloads in its first eight days back in 2023. Muse reached the No. 1 spot on the US Apple App Store’s free iPhone chart within ten days of its September 8 launch.
Key points
- Muse recorded roughly 730,000 US iOS downloads in its first ten days, per Sensor Tower.
- ChatGPT had about 697,000 US downloads in its first eight days in 2023, for comparison.
- On Android, Muse ranked No.338 in Google Play’s Productivity category, far behind its iOS performance.
The app is built around a proprietary model called Muse Spark and runs inside a sandboxed “Muse Secure VM” that handles actions such as email, calendar, and messaging without exposing user data. While iOS performance is strong, Muse ranked only No. 338 in the Productivity category on Google Play, showing a stark difference between platforms. The service integrates with Meta’s own platforms, including WhatsApp and Instagram, and is currently available only in the US, though it also runs on Android, the web, and WhatsApp.
Meta’s push reflects a broader industry shift from static chatbots toward AI agents that can execute multi‑step tasks autonomously, leveraging the company’s massive user base across its social apps for rapid distribution.
