Mark Zuckerberg's ambition to bring “personal superintelligence” to everyone may be taking shape, one download at a time.
Meta's personal AI agent, Muse, has reached the top spot among free apps on Apple's US App Store, surpassing ChatGPT. According to Business Insider, Muse launched on September 8 and has since climbed to the number one position.
The app's popularity is growing, with 9to5Mac noting that new installs are increasing and boosting the app's ranking on the App Store's top charts. Meta has also expanded the app's availability to include Mac, although the desktop version doesn't contribute to the App Store ranking.
Muse's approach to agentic workflows is distinct, treating them like casual messaging interfaces and giving agents more personified character roles and appearances, as reported by 9to5Mac. This is in contrast to other AI tools, such as those from OpenAI and Anthropic, which have pushed agentic tools through their existing apps.
