Meta Launches Spaces for Muse AI Agent to Build Custom Experiences

Meta introduced Spaces on Friday, a feature for its Muse AI agent that lets users describe an idea in chat and have Muse build a custom experience around it. Spaces can become planners, trackers, games or dashboards, and live in the Muse app's sidebar or main tabs.

Users can connect third-party apps such as Gmail, Google Calendar, OpenTable and Notion so a Space refreshes in the background with new concert dates, price changes or savings progress. Spaces can be hidden, moved or scheduled to appear at set times, such as a weekly planner during the workweek and weekend plans on Saturday. Users can also check items off, add notes and edit them directly.

Meta also said it is rolling out new "Active Memory" and "Active Focus" capabilities from its Muse Wonder model into Muse and its Meta AI chatbot, to help the agent recall relevant past information during conversations and work toward goals. The company said it is exploring ways to let users share Spaces with others.

Spaces are available everywhere Muse is available, Meta said. The feature is the second Muse update in a week, following Muse Voice, which lets users video chat with the agent and give verbal commands, announced Thursday.

On Friday, Mark Zuckerberg, Meta's founder and chief executive, posted on X that he had built a BBQ game, an event tracker and a home control dashboard with Spaces, and said he was excited to see what users build. Meta described Spaces as custom experiences shaped around a user's routines, goals and interests.

Muse agents, which debuted with cartoonish avatars, reached 10 million users in the U.S. and Canada less than two months after launch, Zuckerberg said on the company's October earnings call. The company is in competition with other AI agents with cartoonish personas, including OpenAI's dots and SpaceXAI's Grokbot.

Meta shares were up 0.84% in delayed trading.
