Meta has released a consumer-facing called Muse, which quickly rose to the top of App Store rankings. According to an estimate from analytics firm Apptopia, the app has around 600,000 daily active users in the United States.
The launch comes amid a broader surge of interest in AI agents—software designed to complete tasks on a user's behalf. Another AI agent platform, Instinct, is reportedly raising funds at a $2.5 billion valuation, reflecting investor enthusiasm for this category of AI tools.
Observers have noted that Muse's design draws heavily from an earlier agent project, suggesting Meta may have built on ideas developed outside the company before bringing its own version to market.
