Meta’s new Meta Muse AI agent has quickly become a major source of investor excitement, with early adoption raising expectations about the company’s future role in the artificial intelligence market.
Meta shares jumped 11.3% on Monday to close at $741.25, adding around $192 billion to the company’s market value and increasing CEO Mark Zuckerberg’s net worth by more than $13 billion. The stock gained another 1.5% on Tuesday as enthusiasm around Muse continued to grow. Evercore ISI analyst Mark Mahaney described Meta Muse AI as a major product success, saying the platform could become an important new opportunity for Meta.
Strong Early Adoption
Investor interest has been fueled by Muse’s rapid growth in the app market. The AI agent reached the top position on Apple’s App Store, while Sensor Tower data showed 2.8 million downloads across the U.S. and Canada during its first 12 days. Muse also recorded faster early adoption than ChatGPT. During their respective first 12 days, Muse registered 1.8 million downloads compared with 1.3 million for ChatGPT.
On September 19, Muse AI reached 264,000 downloads in the U.S. in a single day, marking its third consecutive day above 200,000 downloads. Meta Chief AI Officer Alexandr Wang said the product was designed to make AI accessible to a much wider audience.
A New Opportunity for Meta
For investors, however, Meta Muse Ai’s significance goes beyond download numbers. The larger opportunity could be its potential to create new revenue streams for Meta.
Mahaney argues that the market has focused heavily on enterprise AI, where companies pay for tools that improve productivity. Consumer AI has received less attention because consumers are generally not expected to generate comparable direct revenue.
Muse AI could challenge that assumption by giving Meta another way to turn its massive AI investments into business opportunities. The company has invested heavily in AI infrastructure, and the early success of Muse provides investors with a visible example of product development emerging from those investments.
Advertising, Subscriptions and More
Meta Muse AI could potentially expand Meta’s user engagement while opening several monetization channels. These could include advertising, subscriptions and revenue-sharing from transactions.
