📰 What Happened
Meta launched a new AI app called Muse on Tuesday. By Thursday it had been downloaded more than 83,000 times on iPhones in the US.

On Google Play it ranks much lower, at number 338 in the Productivity category. The app also works on the web and through WhatsApp.
🔍 The Backstory
Muse is Meta's big bet on AI "agents" that do tasks for people. Early numbers are smaller than other Meta launches.
Threads got 4.3 million US downloads on day one, and the Meta AI app got 108,000. ChatGPT passed half a million US installs in under a week.
The market is crowded. Google, Anthropic and others are all racing to build agents. Rival agent Instinct is valued at $2.5 billion.
🎯 Why It Matters
AI agents may soon handle everyday tasks like booking and shopping for you. The winner could shape which apps you rely on.
