Meta Muse spaces let you build custom tools by describing them
Meta added spaces to its Muse AI agent on Friday, November 6, letting people describe an idea and have Muse build it as a custom experience inside the app. Spaces can pull in data from connected apps and update in the background, so a tracker or planner stays current without a new request.
What Meta Muse spaces are
Meta describes a space as a custom experience you create inside Muse by describing what you want. Its examples include a holiday gift tracker, a daily word game and a planning board for a DIY project. After Muse builds the first version, you can keep asking it to add features, change the look or rework how the space behaves.
Spaces also change how the app itself is laid out. You can pin a space to the sidebar, move it into the main tabs, hide it or schedule when it appears. Meta's example is a weekly planner that sits up front during the workweek and gives way to weekend plans on Saturday.
Spaces that update themselves
Spaces can draw on the apps you connect to Muse. According to Meta, connected spaces keep themselves up to date in the background, so new concert dates, price changes or savings progress appear without you having to ask. You can check off items, add notes and make edits inside a space, and they stay there for your next visit.
Meta's suggested uses lean on its own services and on connectors. They include a shopping hub that combines gift ideas, Instagram saves and Marketplace listings; a school dashboard that finds events in school emails and adds them to your calendar; and an order tracker for a small business that shows new orders, customer messages and what needs to ship that day.
Availability
Meta says spaces are available everywhere Muse is available, starting November 6. The company adds that it is exploring ways to share spaces with other people, and that it is rolling out specialized versions of its models to Muse.
Spaces are the second Muse feature Meta has announced this week. On Thursday, November 5, it began rolling out real-time voice conversations and expressive avatars in the Muse app, starting in the US.
What it means for you
Meta pitches spaces as a home for the half-finished ideas and messy spreadsheets people keep elsewhere. Spaces that update themselves rely on connected apps, so they work only after you give Muse access to accounts such as your email or calendar. In its Singapore launch post, Meta says Muse asks before sensitive actions such as sending an email or making a purchase, and that you choose what it can access.
