This week in Meta AI · updated Thu Oct 08 2026
Meta's artificial intelligence push is gaining substantial momentum, centered on its newly launched Muse personal AI agent. Since debuting in September, Muse has accumulated over 3 million downloads and surpassed ChatGPT in iOS download rankings, driving Meta's stock to its strongest monthly performance in years. The company is expanding Muse's capabilities through early-access features including video chat avatars, smart glasses integration, and Mac compatibility, while also targeting small businesses with enterprise automation tools.
