Meta Launches Spaces to Give Muse AI Projects a Home of Their Own

TL;DR

• Meta has launched Spaces, a feature that lets users organize projects in dedicated workspaces with its Muse AI agents.
• Users can describe what they need in chat, and Muse can turn the request into a planner, tracker, or project board.
• Spaces appear in the Muse sidebar, making it easy to return to a project and pick up where you left off.

A place to pick up where you left off

Meta is giving its Muse AI agents a way to help with projects that take more than one conversation. The company has launched Spaces, a feature that lets users set up a dedicated workspace for anything from planning a vacation to keeping track of holiday gifts.

To create a Space, users describe what they want in a regular Muse chat. The agent then builds a workspace around the request, whether that calls for a wedding planner, a DIY project board, or a place to collect recipes for a family gathering. Each Space lives in the Muse sidebar, so users can return to it as plans develop.

A vacation Space, for example, could start with a shortlist of destinations and become the place a user returns to as they make decisions about the trip. Someone organizing a family event could keep a separate Space for recipes and revisit it as the menu comes together.

Connected apps can keep Spaces up to date

Meta says users can connect third-party apps to their Spaces so relevant updates appear in the background. A concert tracker could surface newly announced dates, a shopping tracker could reflect price changes, and a savings tracker could show progress as it happens.

Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg shared a few examples of his own on Friday. He said he had used Spaces to build a barbecue game, an event tracker, and a dashboard for controlling devices at home. Zuckerberg’s post on X

Meta expands Muse beyond text chat

Spaces is the second Muse feature Meta introduced in the same week. On Thursday, the company announced Muse Voice, which allows users in the U.S. to video chat with their AI avatar and give it spoken instructions. TechCrunch’s coverage of Muse Voice

The two launches follow an early sign of traction for Muse. During Meta’s October earnings call, Zuckerberg said the agents had reached 10 million users in the U.S. and Canada less than two months after their debut. Spaces gives those users a reason to come back to Muse as a trip, event, or other project takes shape. Fortune’s coverage of Meta’s earnings call
