Timeline

  • 2026-11-06: Meta introduced spaces in the Muse app (Meta).
  • 2026-11-06: The Verge reported that Meta is rolling out spaces to all Muse users (The Verge).

Details (as Reported)

Meta described a space as a custom experience shaped around a user's routines, goals and interests, and noted that every space becomes part of Muse (Meta). Users can keep adjusting a space with Muse after the first version, adding what is missing, trying a new look or changing how it works (Meta). Meta gave a weekly planner kept up front during the workweek and swapped for weekend plans on Saturday as an example of scheduling (Meta).

The company listed further ideas, including a shopping hub, a school dashboard, a music tracker, a wedding planner, an order tracker for a small business and a trip planner (Meta). Once a user connects apps, spaces keep themselves up to date in the background, so new concert dates, price changes or savings progress appear without a request, according to Meta (Meta). Users can check things off, add notes and make edits directly in a space (Meta).

TechCrunch described spaces as basically breakout conversations built around a particular topic, although Meta calls them custom experiences (TechCrunch). In that account, the spaces live in the sidebar of the interface where users interact with a Muse agent (TechCrunch). Mark Zuckerberg, Meta's founder and CEO, posted on X that he had made a BBQ game, an event tracker and a home control dashboard (TechCrunch).

The Verge reported that Meta is bringing new Active Memory and Active Focus capabilities from its Muse Wonder AI model into the Muse app and its Meta AI chatbot (The Verge). Meta also announced it is rolling out specialized versions of its models to Muse, trained with learnings from Muse Wonder (Meta).

Spaces is the second new Muse feature Meta has debuted in the past week, after Muse Voice, which lets users video chat with their agent and give it verbal commands, TechCrunch reported (TechCrunch). During its October earnings call, Zuckerberg stated that the agents had 10 million users in the U.S. and Canada (TechCrunch).
