Meta’s Muse personal AI agent has reached the top of the U.S. iPhone App Store’s free chart, moving ahead of ChatGPT. The ranking is a snapshot rather than a permanent measure of use, but it shows that the new app has quickly attracted downloads following its launch.
Muse is Meta’s separate app for a personal AI agent. Meta says it can help with multi-step tasks and work across connected services when a user grants access. That is a broader promise than a conventional chatbot, which mainly responds to individual prompts.
A chart position is not a usage verdict
App Store charts primarily reflect download momentum. They do not reveal how many people remain active, how often they use an app, or whether a download turns into a long-term subscription. The order can also change during the day as new downloads arrive.

- Current signal: Muse has topped the U.S. free iPhone chart.
- What it measures: app-download ranking, not ongoing usage.
- What users should check: permissions and connected-service access before starting an agent task.
That last point matters for an agent app. Muse may need access to services in order to complete a task, so iPhone users should read each permission request and review an action before allowing it to send a message, make a booking or change an account setting.
Meta introduced Muse as a personal agent designed to work proactively toward a user’s goals. The company’s launch announcement explains its safeguards, while the App Store’s iPhone charts provide the current ranking context.
