what happened
Meta Platforms gained 1.5% in Monday’s opening trading after figures cited by GuruFocus indicated that Muse, its new AI assistant, is keeping users at levels that are nearing ChatGPT’s. Venture capitalist Deedy Das posted the figures on X, attributing them to Sensor Tower.
The data showed that more than 30% of Muse users returned within the first seven days. Its 14-day retention rate was 22%, below ChatGPT’s result for the same period. Retention measures the share of users who come back after a specified interval. Das’s figures also placed Muse’s two-week rate behind WhatsApp, YouTube, Instagram, TikTok and Snapchat.
Meta launched Muse in September as part of a broader expansion of its consumer AI offerings. Sensor Tower estimated 2.8 million worldwide downloads during the app’s first two weeks, compared with 3.7 million for ChatGPT over its opening two weeks. The figures point to initial demand, while continued use remains the key test in the crowded AI-assistant market.
why it matters
For markets, the data provide an early read on engagement with Meta’s new AI product. Muse’s gap behind ChatGPT in retention and downloads indicates that initial interest has yet to become sustained usage.
