Meta has launched Spaces, a new sidebar feature that creates topic-specific conversational tabs for its Muse agents, allowing users to organize work on distinct projects. Each Space opens a dedicated conversation in which Muse pursues a particular goal on the user’s behalf.
How Spaces work
Users can describe an idea in chat and Muse will build a matching Space — for example, a vacation planner, a recipe collection for a family event, a holiday gift tracker, a wedding planner, or a DIY project board. Spaces appear in the Muse interface sidebar; clicking a Space opens the dedicated tab for ongoing work with the agent.
Meta says Spaces can be connected to third-party apps and external information sources. With these integrations, Spaces can update themselves in the background so new concert dates, price changes, or savings progress appear automatically without the user having to request updates.
Related developments and reception
Spaces follows other recent Muse updates. On Thursday, Meta announced Muse Voice, which lets users video chat with their agent and issue voice commands. On Friday, Mark Zuckerberg, Meta’s founder and CEO, posted on X about experimenting with Spaces, noting he had built examples such as a BBQ game, an event tracker, and a home control dashboard.
Muse agents and their characterful avatars have seen a relatively warm reception since launch: according to Zuckerberg, the agents reached 10 million users in the U.S. and Canada less than two months after debut.
Why it matters
Spaces is part of Meta’s effort to expand the Muse user experience by enabling persistent, project-oriented interactions and deeper integrations with other apps. The feature also positions Muse more directly against other consumer-facing agent products with playful personas, such as OpenAI’s dots and SpaceXAI’s Grokbot.
Summary
By adding Spaces, Meta aims to make Muse interactions more structured and ongoing for multi-step projects, while continuing to add capabilities like voice interaction and third-party integrations.
