Meta adds Spaces to Muse, so your agent builds a tracker or planner from a sentence and keeps it updated

Meta keeps giving its Muse agents new rooms to work in. The company has launched Spaces, project-focused areas where Muse works toward a specific goal for you, Lucas Ropek reports for TechCrunch.

What Spaces are

Think of them as breakout conversations organized around a topic. Meta calls them "custom experiences." They live in the sidebar next to your Muse chat, and opening one brings up that project. Plan a vacation in one, collect recipes for a family event in another, or track holiday gifts, plan a wedding, or manage a DIY project. You describe what you want in chat and Muse builds the space, whether a tracker, planner or project board.

Spaces can also connect to third-party apps and data. Meta says a connected space refreshes on its own, so things like a new tour date, a price drop or progress toward a savings goal show up unprompted.

Mark Zuckerberg says he has used it to build a barbecue game, a tracker for events and a dashboard for controlling his home.

The push

This is Meta's second Muse feature in a week, after video calls with Muse's avatar. Zuckerberg said in October that Muse had 10 million users in the US and Canada less than two months after launch. Its rivals in the cute-agent business include OpenAI's Dots and SpaceXAI's Grokbot, both with cartoonish personas.

Why developers should care

Spaces is generative UI for consumers: the agent doesn't just answer, it builds a small persistent app around your goal and keeps it fed with data from other services. That's the same idea as Airbnb's planned travel agent, and it means more apps will be judged on how cleanly they expose data and actions to someone else's agent.

Details are thin on which apps connect and how permissions work, which is the part to watch.

Scoreboard update: AI +1. Meta's agent now builds and maintains little apps for your projects on request.

Stay undead.
