Meta introduces Spaces, a new way to collaborate with your Muse agent

Meta has added Spaces to its Muse agents, giving users a way to keep separate, ongoing projects with the assistant, TechCrunch reports.

A Space sits in the sidebar of the Muse interface and holds a conversation built around one goal, such as planning a vacation, collecting recipes for a family event, tracking holiday gifts or organizing a wedding. Meta calls them custom experiences: a user describes an idea in chat and Muse builds a tracker, planner or project board for it. TechCrunch's writer describes them as, in effect, breakout conversations on a single topic.

Meta says Spaces can connect to third-party apps so they update in the background, with things like new concert dates, price changes or savings progress showing up without the user asking. Chief executive Mark Zuckerberg wrote on X that he had used the feature to make a barbecue game, an event tracker and a home control dashboard.

It is the second Muse feature in a week, after Muse Voice, which lets users video chat with their agent and give it spoken commands. Zuckerberg said on Meta's October earnings call that the agents had 10 million users in the U.S. and Canada less than two months after launch. TechCrunch notes that Meta is competing with similarly cartoonish agents from OpenAI and SpaceXAI.
