Meta’s Muse AI Agent Outpaces ChatGPT’s Early Mobile Uptake
New download estimates show Meta’s Muse personal AI agent is off to a faster start in North America than ChatGPT had after its mobile debut.
Meta’s new personal AI agent, Muse, is seeing strong early demand. CNBC reports that the app recorded 730,000 downloads in its first five days and 2.5 million downloads over roughly thirteen days after launch.
TechCrunch, citing estimates from Appfigures, says Muse has outpaced ChatGPT’s early mobile launch in the U.S. and Canada, with more downloads and daily active users over the comparable post-launch period. The two sources agree on the headline trend: Muse is generating significant early momentum.
Where they differ is in scope. CNBC focuses on raw download numbers, while TechCrunch emphasizes the comparison to ChatGPT’s mobile debut. Neither source provides evidence on whether Muse can sustain that pace, so the early lead should be read as a promising start rather than a settled outcome.
