Meta launches Spaces for project-based work with Muse agents
Meta says the feature can create planners and trackers from chat requests and connect to outside apps for automatic updates.
Meta has introduced Spaces, a feature that lets people organize work with its Muse AI agents around individual projects. The company says users can describe what they need in a conversation, prompting Muse to create a planner, tracker or project board.
Each Space appears as a separate entry in the Muse interface’s sidebar, allowing users to return to a conversation devoted to a specific task. Meta’s examples include organizing a wedding, tracking holiday gifts and managing DIY projects.
Meta says Spaces can connect with external apps and information sources, updating in the background as information changes. The company cited concert schedules, price changes and progress toward savings goals as examples of information that could appear automatically.
In a post on X, Meta founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg said he had used Spaces to build a BBQ game, an event tracker and a dashboard for home controls.
The launch follows another addition, Muse Voice, which supports video conversations with an agent and spoken commands. During Meta’s October earnings call, Zuckerberg said Muse agents had reached 10 million users across the U.S. and Canada less than two months after their debut.
