In its first 12 days, Meta's Muse AI app achieved 1.8 million downloads in the U.S. and Canada, surpassing ChatGPT's 1.3 million downloads during the same timeframe. Globally, Muse recorded a total of 2.8 million installs, with 642,000 daily active users in the U.S., compared to ChatGPT's 231,000 daily users. On iOS, Muse boasts 359,000 daily active users. Notably, 95% of Muse's users are also Facebook users, while 63% are Instagram users, indicating strong cross-platform integration. Apptopia suggests that Muse could become Meta's newest top app, leveraging the successful cross-promotion strategy seen with Instagram's Threads, which has over 500 million users. This rapid adoption may influence how developers approach AI app integration within existing social media ecosystems.
