Meta's Muse Outpaces ChatGPT's Debut
Meta launches its AI agent Muse, which outpaces ChatGPT's early mobile success but is blocked by Amazon from shopping on Amazon.com.

🔥 What happened
Meta's new AI app Muse hit 1.8 million downloads in its first 12 days in the US and Canada – ChatGPT only managed 1.3 million in the same period. Muse also has more daily active users: 642,000 versus ChatGPT's 231,000.
💡 Why it matters
Meta can cross-promote Muse via Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp – over 95% of Muse users are already on Facebook. This could make Muse the next Threads, which now has 500+ million users.
⚡ Our take
Meta isn't copying, it's dominating. Anyone launching an AI app without a social graph has already lost.
