OTN 60 No. 059: Meta’s Muse Is Growing Faster Than ChatGPT Did

Meta’s Muse is growing faster than ChatGPT did.

By Gene B. Geraissati, Founder & Tech Curator | OTN 60 video

What happened

Muse, Meta’s AI assistant that can do tasks for you, passed 10 million downloads in the US in just 40 days. Very few apps ever did that, and most of them were games like Fortnite and Pokémon GO.

Why it matters

That’s almost 3 times what ChatGPT got in its first 40 days in the US. And people keep coming back: about one in three still use Muse a week later. But Meta is also pushing it hard, with ads and links all over Instagram, Facebook and WhatsApp.

OTN take

Our take: these numbers come from Sensor Tower, an app research firm, not from Meta. Big downloads don’t mean people will stay. If you try Muse, check what it can see and do before you give it access.
