Meta’s Muse AI reaches 5 million downloads in record time

Meta’s new AI assistant, Muse, has achieved a significant milestone by surpassing 5 million downloads in just three weeks. According to data from Sensor Tower, this growth rate outpaces other prominent AI applications, including ChatGPT, Claude, and Grok. Currently, Muse holds the top position on both the Apple App Store and Google Play Store charts. While the app’s rapid adoption is notable, it has faced scrutiny regarding user privacy and reports of unexpected autonomous behavior, such as unauthorized sales on Facebook Marketplace. Despite these controversies and concerns over Meta's data handling practices, the assistant has seen massive consumer interest. While Muse is setting records for the AI category, it remains behind the explosive launch figures seen by major social platforms and streaming services like Threads or Disney+. Meta continues to aggressively promote the tool as it seeks to solidify its presence in the competitive generative AI market.
