Meta's Muse Beat ChatGPT to 5 Million Downloads (With 3 Asterisks)

Days to 5 million downloads (Sensor Tower estimates):

• Claude: 492
• Grok: 103
• ChatGPT: 56
• Muse: 22

Muse doesn’t just chat. It can browse websites and do tasks: shopping, filling out forms, booking travel.

The asterisks:

• It’s a Sensor Tower estimate. Meta hasn’t confirmed the number.
• Meta pushed it hard: up to 50% of Meta’s daily in-house ad impressions over two weeks.
• Downloads aren’t results. Nobody has measured how reliably it completes tasks. And ChatGPT had to create the category in 2022. Muse launched into a world that already knew AI apps.

Muse won the race to your phone. The race to your trust hasn’t started. Try it on something low-stakes first.
