Meta's Muse AI Agent Tops U.S. App Store, Surpassing ChatGPT

Meta Platforms' (META) Muse AI personal agent has climbed to the top of Apple's U.S. App Store rankings, overtaking OpenAI's ChatGPT and other leading AI applications less than two weeks after launch. The rapid ascent marks a significant competitive shift in the consumer AI market, where OpenAI's ChatGPT had held dominant mindshare since its 2022 debut. Neither Meta nor OpenAI disclosed specific download figures or user engagement metrics. Meta has not announced monetization plans for Muse. The app's rise underscores intensifying competition among major technology firms racing to capture consumer adoption in the personal AI assistant segment.
