Meta’s Muse Outpaces ChatGPT in First 12 Days
Meta made an artificial-intelligence app called Muse.
A research company estimated that Muse grew faster than ChatGPT did when ChatGPT first launched on phones.
In the United States and Canada, Muse had 1.8 million iPhone downloads in 12 days.
ChatGPT had 1.3 million iPhone downloads in the same comparison.
Muse also had 2.8 million installs around the world.
More people used Muse each day during this early period than used ChatGPT during its comparable period.
Muse is available in fewer countries, so the comparison used matching iPhone data from the United States and Canada.
Muse may be helped because it can connect with Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp.
However, the figures are estimates and the two apps did not launch under exactly the same conditions.
Meta’s Muse recorded an estimated 1.8 million iOS downloads in the US and Canada during its first 12 days.
ChatGPT recorded 1.3 million iOS downloads in the same markets and period after its mobile launch.
Muse reached 2.8 million installations globally within its first 12 days, according to Apptopia.
Muse had an estimated 642,000 daily active users, compared with 231,000 for ChatGPT over comparable periods.
More than 95% of Muse users also used Facebook, while 63% used Instagram, suggesting Meta’s platforms may aid distribution.
