Meta's AI Agent Muse Gains Traction Amid Apple's Ad Tracking Limits
What happened
Meta's personal AI agent, Muse, has seen significant growth, reaching the top of the App Store and remaining the most downloaded free app on Monday, surpassing ChatGPT. The company introduced a new connector platform allowing businesses to integrate their services directly into Muse. This development occurs against the backdrop of Apple making it more difficult for companies to track users across apps and target ads, a shift that began in 2021.
