Muse Gains Ground Fast
Meta’s Muse AI agent has been moving quickly since its release. Less than two weeks after launching, it claimed the top spot on Apple’s U.S. App Store last Friday.
The speed of adoption has pushed payment and commerce platforms to move fast on integrations. PayPal and Shopify are now both live with Muse checkout capabilities.
Not everyone is on board, though. Amazon blocked Muse from shopping on its website, part of a wider push to stop rival AI shopping bots from making purchases on the platform.
PayPal and the Broader Picture
Payment apps have been racing to tie themselves to AI shopping models as consumer interest in agent-based shopping grows.
PayPal’s partnership puts it alongside Shopify as one of the first major platforms to go live with Muse checkout.
Meta stock is up more than 11% since Monday, when the Shopify deal was announced.
PayPal’s stock had been trading around $52.62 before the announcement. The spike to $55.12 marked a quick move on heavy volume before pulling back slightly.
The PayPal and Shopify integrations make Muse one of the few AI agents that can complete real purchases end-to-end at scale.
Muse’s App Store ranking as the number one app in the U.S. as of Friday underlines how quickly consumer adoption has grown since its release.
