Meta's Muse agent hits 2.8M downloads in 12 days, outpacing early ChatGPT
AccBalanced · x · 2026-09-27
Ed Sim's newsletter dissects Meta's consumer agent Muse: users hand it email, calendar, DoorDash and Amazon access and it shops, books and orders on its own (one user had it buy socks, order Whole Foods groceries, book a cleaner and get a burger within 24 hours). Muse hit 2.8M downloads in 12 days, outpacing ChatGPT's early mobile launch, and hit No.1 on the US App Store; JPMorgan calls it potentially "the most widely used consumer AI product since ChatGPT". One bank projects $28B in AI agent revenue by 2027 from 115M paying users, and Muse partnership announcements have moved partner stocks (Shopify +13%). Sim flags the second-order risk: who secures tens of millions of bots ordering and calling 24/7?
