Meta's new AI agent Muse has climbed to the No. 2 position among US apps, marking rapid adoption for the company's latest product launch.
Muse, Meta's newest artificial intelligence agent, has secured the second-place ranking in US app charts. The ranking reflects strong initial downloads and user engagement despite Meta characterizing the launch as slower than previous releases.
The positioning differs notably from Meta's other recent apps. Meta AI and Threads, launched earlier, achieved different trajectories in their rollouts. The company has not disclosed specific user numbers or active engagement metrics for Muse.
Meta continues expanding its AI product portfolio as competition intensifies in the generative AI space. Muse's rapid chart performance suggests market appetite for AI-powered tools, even as Meta manages multiple AI applications across its platform ecosystem.
The company has integrated AI capabilities across Instagram, Facebook, and WhatsApp, creating multiple entry points for users to access AI features. Muse's standalone ranking indicates users are actively downloading and using the dedicated agent application.
