Meta has launched Spaces, a new feature that turns its Muse AI assistant into a builder of custom mini-apps. Announced on November 6, Spaces lets users describe an idea in plain language and get a persistent, interactive screen inside the Muse app, from a holiday gift tracker to a full trip planner. The launch is Meta’s latest step in pushing Muse beyond chat and into everyday organization.

“Today, we’re introducing spaces, an interactive way to build a more personalized Muse,” Meta said in its announcement. “A space is a custom experience you create inside Muse by describing your idea, like a holiday gift tracker, a daily word game, or a planning board for your next DIY project.”

What Was Announced?

A Space starts with a description. A user tells Muse what they want, and the assistant builds an initial version that can be refined through conversation, whether that means adding a missing feature, trying a new look, or changing how it works. Unlike a chat thread, a Space stays put. Meta says every space “becomes part of Muse, so you can keep it where you want and come back to it any time.”

Users control where each Space lives. It can be pinned to the sidebar, promoted into the main navigation tabs, hidden when it is not needed, or scheduled to appear at set times. Meta gives the example of keeping a weekly planner up front during the workweek, then swapping it for weekend plans on Saturday.

What You Can Build

Meta’s announcement lists a wide range of examples. A shopping hub can pull together holiday and birthday gift ideas, wishlists saved from Instagram, and Marketplace listings and buyer messages in one view. A school dashboard finds events relevant to children in school emails and adds them to the calendar. Other ideas include a music tracker for new releases and upcoming shows, a wedding planner with RSVP lists and vendor invoices, a trivia game, a podcast studio for episode ideas and scripts, an order tracker for a small business, a client hub for freelance work, and a trip planner with flights, hotels and a day-by-day itinerary.

The point, Meta says, is that almost any half-finished idea sitting in a notes app or spreadsheet can become a Space.

Connected Apps Keep Spaces Current

Spaces are designed to stay up to date on their own. Users can connect the apps they already use, and Meta says their Spaces will refresh in the background as new information arrives, from concert dates and price changes to savings progress. Supported connections include Gmail, Google Calendar, OpenTable and Notion. Users can check items off, add notes and make edits directly inside a Space, and everything is still there when they return.

Meta stresses that Spaces are personal from the start, and that sharing a Space with others is still being explored, with no launch date announced.

Availability and What Comes Next

Spaces are available now, everywhere the Muse app is available, starting November 6. Meta has not published a country-by-country list for the feature, so availability follows the Muse app itself, which has rolled out in the US, Canada, Japan and Singapore, among other markets.

The Spaces launch arrives alongside a separate upgrade to the models behind Muse. Meta is rolling out specialized versions of its existing models to Muse and Meta AI, trained with learnings from Muse Wonder, its most capable model series. The company says those models are better at remembering important context and recovering when a task runs into trouble. GPTOnline covered that rollout on November 7.

Why It Matters

Spaces moves Muse from answering questions to owning recurring tasks. Chatbots have long been able to generate a one-off itinerary or tracker, but those outputs usually vanish into the scroll. By making the result persistent, editable and connected to live data, Meta is betting that users will keep coming back to the same Space instead of starting a new chat each time.

The move also mirrors a broader shift across AI assistants. OpenAI, Google and Anthropic have all been adding persistent workspaces, memory and app connections to their assistants this year. Meta’s answer leans on its own ecosystem, from Instagram saves to Marketplace, and on the idea that a personal assistant should be shaped around a user’s routines rather than a generic chat window.

Whether users adopt Spaces will depend on how well the generated screens actually work in daily use, and on how much control Meta gives them over what connected apps can see and do. For now, the feature is a clear signal of where Meta wants Muse to go: less a chatbot, more a customizable home screen for everything the assistant knows about you.
