Meta launched its agentic AI app Muse on Tuesday, and early Sensor Tower data shows it has already surpassed 83,000 iOS downloads in the United States, making it the No. 2 app in the US. The launch is drawing positive attention from Wall Street and discussion among industry players on X.
Meta's Muse AI app grew from 2.5 million to over 3.4 million downloads in a week, boosted by Meta Connect announcements and house ads across Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. Meta announced upcoming features including video chat with the Muse avatar, Mac computer use, and smart glasses integration. Firms disagree on totals, but all report strong early traction that outpaced ChatGPT's launch growth.

Meta's AI assistant Muse is now available on Mac, where it can act within native apps — files, messages, calendar, notes, and mail. The Mac release follows mobile and web launches earlier in September 2026 that topped the U.S. App Store. The move lands amid intensifying consumer AI agent competition with players like Instinct, reportedly raising at a $10 billion valuation.

Instinct announced Instinct Concierge, a calling feature letting its AI agent place calls as a concierge, while Meta's Muse simultaneously gained the ability to call U.S. businesses. The rollouts bring the rival assistants into parity on calling, an advantage competitors had been touting over Instinct.
