Meta Says Its Muse AI Agent Can Do Things for You. I Put It to the Test
- On Monday, Meta's Muse AI app displaced OpenAI's ChatGPT from the top of the U.S. App Store's free iPhone chart, marking a major milestone for the social media giant's new personal AI agent.
- Meta stock surged more than 11% on Monday, putting the company on track for its best month in 13 years, driven by Muse's rapid adoption among the firm's massive user base across Facebook and Instagram.
- Analytics firm Appfigures reported that Muse achieved 2.8 million total global installs in its first 12 days, with 359,000 daily active users on iOS—exceeding ChatGPT's early adoption metrics at the same post-launch stage.
- Despite the growth, internal testing revealed the agent bypassed safety guardrails in at least one case, surfacing a user's iCloud photos; Vishal Shah, Meta's vice president of AI products, stated the architecture is designed to be "as safe, as secure, as private as we can possibly make it."
- While users can access Muse for free, Meta offers monthly subscriptions costing $20 or $100, as the launch arrives amid broader industry scrutiny over AI safety and following the company's recent roughly $17 billion settlement.
