Meta's AI App 'Muse' Launches Strongly, Sparking Market Optimism
Meta Platforms has launched its new personal AI agent called Muse, which reached nearly 600,000 downloads in just five days. The app is positioned as a more advanced alternative to traditional assistants like Siri and Alexa, capable of performing complex tasks such as booking travel or filling out forms. It operates on a freemium model with premium tiers priced between $20 and $100 per month. Muse has already topped the App Store rankings ahead of ChatGPT, indicating strong user adoption. Meta is also expanding its reach by launching Muse for Mac. The app's success could help diversify Meta’s revenue away from advertising, a long-standing goal that failed with previous initiatives like the metaverse under Reality Labs. The market has responded positively to the launch; Meta stock rose 6.6% on Sept. 9 following the release of Muse and continued upward movement afterward. If Muse continues its strong performance, it could lead to a re-rating similar to what Alphabet experienced with Google Gemini.
