Muse's AI capabilities include booking, shopping, and integrating with popular services.

Users report successful cost-saving tasks, but some face challenges with Meta's Muse AI agent.

Mark Zuckerberg's ambition to bring "personal superintelligence" to everyone may be taking shape, one download at a time.

Muse from Meta, the company's new personal AI agent, has climbed to No.

1 among free apps on Apple's US App Store, ahead of ChatGPT.

Muse's rise is the latest example of consumers embracing AI agents.

Unlike chatbots that simply answer questions , agents are designed to act on a user's behalf.

Meta says Muse can help users research , fill out forms, buy items online, book restaurant reservations, find a dog sitter, and connect with services such as email, calendars, Spotify, Instagram, and OpenTable.

Muse can remember users' preferences and handle tasks on their behalf while seeking approval before taking sensitive actions, Meta says.

The App Store ranking comes a week after Muse's launch and is an early sign that Meta's bet on personal AI assistants is starting to pay off, even as its frontier models have lagged behind OpenAI and Anthropic on some key benchmarks. a week after launch, muse is now the #1 app in the App Store! it’s been SO exciting to see how much y’all have done with muse. we can’t wait to do more together! pic.twitter.com/0lwhijlpj3 — Alexandr Wang (@alexandr_wang) September 18, 2026 Early users have shared striking examples of how Muse has helped them.

Entrepreneur Joe Devoy wrote in an X post last week that he uploaded his auto insurance policy and asked Muse to find identical coverage at a lower cost.
