The app beat out several well-known competitors. OpenAI’s ChatGPT sits at No. 2, Google Gemini ranks No. 8, and Anthropic’s Claude comes in at No. 13. SpaceXAI’s Grok lands at No. 32 and Microsoft Copilot ranks No. 64.
Meta Chief AI Officer Alexandr Wang confirmed the milestone in a post on X on Friday. “A week after launch, Muse is now the No. 1 app in the App Store!” he wrote.
What Makes Muse Different From a Chatbot
Unlike a standard chatbot, Muse is built to take action on a user’s behalf. It can send emails, book travel, fill out forms, buy items online, and even find a dog sitter.
Meta says anyone can use it without technical experience. Once a user sets a goal, Muse builds a plan and starts working toward it on its own.
The app can keep running in the background even after it has been closed. Before taking sensitive actions, it checks in with the user for approval.
Muse also remembers user preferences over time, which allows it to get more personalized with repeated use.
Services and Integrations
Muse connects to a range of third-party services. These include Spotify, Instagram, OpenTable, and the user’s email and calendar apps.
The app can negotiate on a user’s behalf, open a browser, and coordinate time and resources to help reach bigger goals, according to Meta.
Meta describes the app as being able to handle both everyday tasks and what it calls “big audacious goals.”
The No. 1 ranking is an early sign that consumer interest in AI agents is growing. Agents go beyond answering questions by actually doing things for users.
Meta’s frontier AI models have lagged behind OpenAI and Anthropic on some key benchmarks, but Muse’s App Store performance shows the company is making progress in the consumer AI space.
The app’s rise to the top of the charts within a week of launch puts pressure on competitors like OpenAI, Google, and Microsoft to keep pace in the personal AI agent market.
Wang said the team is looking forward to building on the momentum, noting how quickly users have found ways to use the app.
