New market intelligence data from Apptopia indicates that Meta’s artificial intelligence application, Muse, has achieved a faster mobile adoption rate during its initial weeks compared to the early days of ChatGPT. According to the estimates, Muse surpassed ChatGPT’s download figures during its first twelve days in the U.S. and Canadian markets, while also securing a higher number of daily active users.
This strong early performance is largely driven by Meta’s powerful cross-promotion strategy, leveraging its massive existing ecosystems across Instagram, Facebook, and WhatsApp. Although these figures represent third-party estimates rather than official internal metrics from Meta, they highlight significant consumer interest in the new conversational tool.
The trajectory echoes Meta’s previous successful launch tactics used for platforms like Threads. Going forward, the primary challenge for the tech giant will be maintaining user retention and engagement as the application scales globally and competition in the generative AI space intensifies.
