Meta announced on Nov 6 local time that it is introducing a feature called "spaces" for its Muse AI assistant, letting users build customizable, app-like experiences inside the Muse app. According to The Verge, Meta Newsroom published a post the same day titled "Design the Muse App, Just for You," describing spaces as "an interactive way to build a more customized experience in the Muse app."
How it works: describe an app, get an app
According to The Verge, spaces lets Muse build a range of experiences — a shopping hub, a school dashboard, a music tracker, a trivia game and more — that users can interact with directly inside the Muse app. Meta says users create a new space by "describing it" — spelling out what they need in natural language, with the AI generating the corresponding space.
Ecosystem integration: connecting outside apps for background updates
Another core capability of spaces is linking to outside apps. The report noted that if users connect outside apps already supported by Muse — such as Gmail, Google Calendar, OpenTable and Notion — the AI assistant will keep pulling information from them, updating prices, dates and other details inside the space in the background. Users can also interact with elements within a space.
Meta says users can create a new space by describing it; once outside apps are connected, the AI assistant keeps pulling information from them and updating prices, dates and other content in the space in the background.
What it means and what to watch
Based on what has been disclosed, spaces expands Muse from a single conversational assistant into an application platform that users can define themselves and that can refresh continuously from third-party data sources — reflecting a shift in AI assistant products toward customization and ecosystem integration. So far Meta's disclosures focus on describing the feature; it has not revealed the rollout scope, availability timeline or whether spaces will be open to all users. Those details remain to be confirmed.
