Meta Muse adds Spaces, custom planners and trackers built by prompt
Meta has added Spaces to Muse, its personal AI agent app, giving users a way to turn a description typed into the chat into a working, persistent tool such as a tracker, a planner or a project board. The feature was announced on the Meta Newsroom on November 6, 2026, and Meta says it went live the same day "everywhere Muse is available", which on the company's own pages means the Muse apps for iOS and Android, the muse.ai website and the Mac, in the markets where Muse has launched.
A space, in Meta's definition, is a custom experience that a user creates inside Muse by describing an idea. Muse builds the first version, and the user then keeps shaping it by adding missing pieces, changing its appearance or changing how it behaves. Spaces can be pinned to the sidebar or to the app's main tabs, scheduled to appear on particular days, and connected to other apps so that their contents refresh in the background without a new request.
The launch arrives in a dense week for the product. One day earlier Meta introduced real-time voice conversations and expressive avatars in Muse for US users, and on the same day as Spaces it described specialized Muse models trained with learnings from Muse Wonder. Meta published nine example spaces with the announcement, ranging from a wedding planner with RSVPs and vendor invoices to an order tracker for small businesses, and it gave no usage figures, prices or plan restrictions specific to the feature.

HOW MUSE SPACES ARE BUILT AND EDITED.
The starting point for a space is an ordinary chat message. The user describes what the space should do, and Muse generates it; Meta's announcement lists a tracker, a planner and a project board as typical outputs. The space is not fixed after that first pass. Meta describes an iterative process in which the user tells Muse what is missing, asks for a different look, or changes how the space works, and the agent revises it in place.
Once a space exists, it behaves like a small application inside Muse. Users can check items off, add notes and edit content directly in the space, and Meta says those changes are saved for the next visit. This is the main difference from a regular chat answer: a packing list or a gift list produced in a normal conversation scrolls away with the thread, while a space keeps its own state and can be reopened, updated and reorganized over weeks.
Meta frames spaces as useful for both practical and entertaining purposes. The practical side covers planning, tracking and organizing, and the entertainment side includes examples such as a trivia game built around movies, music or sports. The announcement does not describe any technical limits on what a space can contain, how many spaces a user can create, or whether spaces can run code beyond the interactive elements shown in Meta's examples.

MUSE SPACES IN THE SIDEBAR, TABS AND SCHEDULED VIEWS.
Placement is a central part of the design. Spaces can be added to the Muse sidebar or promoted to the main tabs of the app, moved around, and hidden when they are not needed. Meta also lets users schedule when a space appears, so the app's layout can follow a routine instead of staying static.
The example Meta gives is a weekly planner that shows on weekdays and is swapped for a weekend-plans space on Saturday. Applied more broadly, the same mechanism lets a user keep a work-related space visible during office hours and a family or hobby space visible in the evening, so that the most relevant tool is the first thing on screen when the app opens.
This makes Spaces a customization layer for the Muse interface as much as a content feature. Instead of every user seeing the same chat-first layout, the app can be rearranged around the handful of recurring tasks a person actually uses it for. Meta says it is also exploring ways to share spaces with other people for more collaborative use, which would turn a personal wedding planner or trip planner into a shared one; that capability was not part of the November 6 launch.

CONNECTED APPS AND BACKGROUND UPDATES IN MUSE SPACES.
Spaces can be linked to the apps a user has connected to Muse. When they are, Meta says the space updates in the background, and its examples are new concert dates, price changes and progress toward a savings goal appearing in the relevant space without the user asking for a refresh.
The connections available depend on what Muse already supports. Meta's launch materials for Muse name Gmail, Google Calendar and Instagram as connectors, with access to email configurable as read-only or read-and-send, and they note that connector features roll out progressively. Several of the example spaces rely on exactly these links: the school dashboard pulls events from school emails into the user's calendar, and the shopping hub collects Instagram saves alongside Marketplace listings and buyer messages.
The security model behind those connections is the one Meta built for Muse at launch. The agent runs in a cloud environment Meta calls the Muse Secure VM, credentials for connected services are stored so that the agent can use them without seeing passwords or payment methods, and a separate Sentinel agent controls the VM's internet access. Muse asks for confirmation before sensitive actions such as sending an email or making a purchase, and it keeps an audit trail of what it did. Meta's Spaces announcement adds only that spaces are "personal from the start" and does not say whether a space that updates in the background follows any additional rules on what data it may read.

THE NINE EXAMPLE SPACES META PUBLISHED.
Meta illustrated the launch with nine spaces. The table groups them by the kind of information each one handles, as described in the announcement.
........
Example space | What it holds, according to Meta | Type of use |
Shopping hub | Gift ideas, Instagram saves, Marketplace listings and buyer messages | Personal and selling |
School dashboard | Events from school emails, added to the calendar | Family organization |
Music tracker | New releases and upcoming shows | Personal interest |
Wedding planner | RSVPs, vendor invoices and to-dos | Event planning |
Trivia game | Questions on movies, music or sports | Entertainment |
Podcast studio | Episode ideas, research and scripts | Creator work |
Order tracker | Orders for a small business | Business |
Client hub | Client work for freelancers | Business |
Trip planner | Flights, hotels, reservations and itinerary | Travel |
........
Three of the nine examples, the order tracker, the client hub and the podcast studio, are aimed at work rather than private life. That fits Meta's earlier move to position Muse for small businesses with a dedicated program announced in September, and it suggests that Meta sees Spaces as a lightweight alternative to separate productivity apps for freelancers and small sellers. The announcement does not say whether business-oriented spaces behave differently from personal ones or whether they connect to Meta's business tools.

WHO CAN USE MUSE SPACES AND ON WHICH PLATFORMS.
Meta's only availability statement for Spaces is that the feature is available everywhere Muse is available, starting November 6. The table below brings together what Meta's own posts say about where that is.
........
Item | What Meta has published |
Launch date of Spaces | November 6, 2026 |
Countries with Muse | United States (launch in September), Singapore (from October 27) |
Apps | iOS, Android, web at muse.ai, Mac |
AI glasses | Muse on glasses announced as coming soon |
Price of Muse | Free for most everyday needs, with paid subscription plans |
Plan required for Spaces | Not stated |
Sharing spaces with others | Being explored, not available at launch |
........
For readers who already use Muse, getting started does not require a separate download or a setting. The first step is to describe the desired tool in a normal chat, for example a trip planner for a specific weekend with flights and hotel bookings, and let Muse build the space. The next is to refine it in the same conversation until the layout and fields are right, then pin it to the sidebar or a main tab and, if useful, set the days on which it should appear. To make a space refresh by itself, the relevant app, such as Gmail, Google Calendar or Instagram, has to be connected to Muse first, with permissions chosen at the level the user is comfortable with.
Meta has not said whether heavy use of spaces counts against any usage limit on the free tier or whether some space capabilities are reserved for subscribers. Readers comparing the free and paid options can find the current structure in our guide to Meta AI free plans, limits and subscriptions, and the underlying agent, including its Secure VM and payment features, is covered in our report on the Muse AI agent launch.

MUSE SPACES AND THE REST OF META'S NOVEMBER MUSE UPDATES.
Spaces is the third Muse update in two days. On November 5 Meta began rolling out real-time voice conversations and expressive avatars in the US Muse app on mobile, web and Mac, with voice planned later for AI glasses and Muse Charm; we covered that release in our article on voice conversations and avatars in Muse. On November 6, alongside Spaces, Meta's research blog described specialized versions of the Muse and Meta AI models trained with learnings from Muse Wonder.
Those model updates are relevant to Spaces because a space that is meant to stay useful for weeks depends on the agent remembering context and recovering when a task goes wrong. Meta reports that the current Muse model scores 47% on its Personal Superintelligence Index, up from 38% for the previous model, and that on its Active Memory evaluation 90% of tasks correctly used critical context, up from 76%. The company also cites a 2.4x reduction in forgetting critical information and a 67% improvement on everyday tasks where unexpected problems arise. These are Meta's internal evaluations, with no independent replication, and Meta does not tie any of them to the Spaces feature directly.
Read together, the three announcements move Muse further from a chat window and closer to a personal workspace: voice for hands-free use, memory and recovery for longer tasks, and Spaces for persistent, customized tools that sit inside the app and keep themselves current.

MUSE SPACES: CONFIRMED FACTS AND OPEN QUESTIONS.
Meta has confirmed the core mechanics. Spaces are built from a description in chat and refined by further instructions, they keep their own content between visits, they can be placed in the sidebar or main tabs and scheduled by day, and they can connect to apps that update them in the background. The feature launched on November 6, 2026 wherever Muse is available, which on Meta's published record means the United States and Singapore across iOS, Android, the web and the Mac.
Several practical points remain undocumented. Meta has not said whether Spaces is limited on the free tier, how many spaces a user can keep, how often connected spaces refresh, or which connectors beyond Gmail, Google Calendar and Instagram can feed them. Sharing, which would make planners and trackers useful for couples, families and small teams, is described only as something Meta is exploring. Privacy is addressed in a single phrase in the announcement, so the protections that apply are those Meta documented for Muse as a whole: the Secure VM, credential isolation, confirmation before sensitive actions and an audit trail.
For current Muse users the feature is available now, with no extra charge mentioned by Meta, and the most useful early cases are the ones Meta itself highlights, recurring planning tasks fed by email, calendar and Instagram data. How far Spaces can replace dedicated planning and tracking apps will depend on the answers Meta gives on limits, refresh behavior and sharing.
