Meta's AI App Muse Leads Early Download Growth Among New Competitors
Meta's AI app Muse has achieved rapid early adoption, with approximately 2.5 million downloads in 13 days, surpassing competitors Anthropic's Claude and xAI's Grok but trailing ChatGPT's 3.1 million downloads in the same period. However, Muse briefly topped Apple's US free app chart. Market data also shows Muse's daily active users exceed ChatGPT's during their respective launch periods, with most Muse users also active on Facebook and Instagram, reflecting overlap with Meta's existing user base.
