Unlike a standard chatbot conversation, Spaces can serve as persistent workspaces where users manage information, track progress, and return to ongoing projects. They can be placed in Muse’s sidebar or main navigation tabs, hidden when unnecessary, or configured to appear at specific times. For example, a user could prioritize a work planner during the week and automatically bring a weekend itinerary into view on Saturday.
Meta outlined several potential applications, including gift trackers that organize shopping ideas from Instagram saves and Marketplace listings, school dashboards that identify events in emails and add them to calendars, and music trackers that monitor artist releases and upcoming concerts. Other examples include wedding planners for managing RSVPs and expenses, podcast workspaces for developing scripts and research, and business dashboards for tracking orders or client projects.
Spaces also support connections to external applications, allowing information to refresh automatically in the background. Depending on the connected services, a workspace could display newly announced concerts, changes in product prices, or updated savings goals without requiring users to request each update. Users can also add notes, complete checklist items, and modify information that remains available when they revisit a Space.
Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg highlighted the feature in a post on X, describing several Spaces he had created, including a barbecue game, an event tracker, and a home-control dashboard. The examples illustrate how the feature can accommodate both practical organizational tools and more recreational experiences.
The introduction follows Meta’s September debut of Muse agents, which the company has continued to develop with additional interaction capabilities. During an October earnings call, Zuckerberg said Muse had reached 10 million users across the United States and Canada less than two months after its introduction. Meta also recently announced Muse Voice, which enables users to interact with their AI avatars through video conversations and spoken instructions.
Spaces adds another layer of functionality to Muse by allowing users to organize agent interactions around specific activities rather than managing everything through a single conversation. The approach also places Muse alongside other character-based AI assistants, including OpenAI’s Dots and SpaceXAI’s Grokbot, as companies develop more personalized ways for users to interact with AI agents.
Meta says it is exploring options that would let people share Spaces with others, potentially extending the feature into collaborative planning and project management. The company is also introducing specialized models to Muse, incorporating lessons from Muse Wonder to improve how its agents respond and perform tasks.
