Meta has updated its Muse AI agent app to add native support for the iPad, extending the app's reach after it spent several weeks at the top of the free app rankings in Apple's App Store following its iOS launch nearly a month ago. The update allows the app to run natively on Apple's tablet rather than relying on an iPhone-scaled interface.
Muse is positioned as Meta's entry into the agentic AI tool category, a growing space in which AI assistants are designed to carry out tasks on a user's behalf rather than simply answer questions. The app is described as competing with other agentic tools in the market, including offerings associated with ChatGPT and Grok.
Expanding across platforms
The iPad update follows the release of a Mac version of Muse roughly a month earlier, as Meta continues to broaden the app's availability across Apple's device ecosystem. The expansion reflects the broader push among major technology companies to position agentic AI tools across as many platforms as possible to capture early user adoption.
Muse's strong early performance on the App Store's free charts suggests notable consumer interest in the app since its debut, though it remains to be seen whether that momentum will carry over as competition in the agentic AI space continues to intensify among major technology firms.
