Meta’s AI application, Muse, has witnessed significant traction since its launch on September 8, 2023, largely due to extensive promotion during Meta’s Connect developer conference and positive reviews.

  • Downloads and Growth: Initially reporting 2.5 million downloads at the week's start, Muse now surpasses 3.4 million downloads according to Sensor Tower’s latest estimates. Other firms like Apptopia and Appfigures report 4.3 million and 2.3 million downloads respectively.
  • Conference Announcement: During the annual Meta Connect conference, new features including video chat, Mac support, smart glasses integration, as well as marketing strategies similar to those used for Instagram Threads, were introduced.
  • Promotional Strategy: Meta launched an expansive promotional effort with house ads and mobile ad network promotions, capturing majority ad spending across Meta’s platforms and operating on networks like Reddit, TikTok, and YouTube.
  • Competitive Performance: Despite Meta’s focused promotion, only 6% of ad impressions contributed to the growth, suggesting substantial organic interest. Muse’s growth outpaced other AI models like ChatGPT in initial download rates.
