Meta has added a new feature called Spaces to Muse, its AI agent, so users can ask for a custom tool and have the agent build it. Spaces are custom experiences that sit in the Muse sidebar, according to TechCrunch and Digital Trends. The feature was announced on Friday, November 6.
How Spaces work. A user describes an idea in chat, and Muse builds a tracker, planner or project board in response. TechCrunch lists examples such as vacation planning, a recipe collection for a family event, a holiday gift tracker, a wedding planner and a space for do-it-yourself projects. Users can keep refining a space by asking Muse for changes, according to other coverage, and can place spaces in the sidebar or main tabs, hide those they do not need, and schedule when they appear.
Connecting to other apps. Meta says Spaces can connect to third-party apps and stay updated in the background, with examples including concert dates, price changes and savings progress, according to TechCrunch. Other coverage says Meta is also exploring ways to let users share spaces with others, which is not yet available.
What Meta’s chief executive said. Mark Zuckerberg posted on X that spaces in Muse let people tell Muse what they need and have it built. Zuckerberg said a BBQ game, an event tracker and a home control dashboard were among the spaces built. TechCrunch’s writer hedges on the definition, saying that as far as can be told, spaces are breakout conversations on a topic.
Where Muse stands. Muse agents launched recently, and TechCrunch links a September 23 article. On the October earnings call, Zuckerberg said the agents had 10 million users in the US and Canada less than two months after launch, a figure that has not been independently verified in the coverage seen. On Thursday, Meta also announced Muse Voice, which allows video chat with the agent and spoken commands.
What is not clear. TechCrunch’s article does not state pricing, platforms, rollout timing or usage limits, and does not say whether Spaces are free. Another report says Spaces became available everywhere Muse is available on the announcement day, so availability may be wider than the TechCrunch piece suggests.
Why it matters. The feature moves AI agents a step from answering questions toward building small tools for each user. If it works, people could create their own apps without coding, which is the same idea behind other vibe-coding products. It also puts Meta in direct competition with OpenAI and with SpaceX’s Grok Bot, which TechCrunch names as rivals.
What to watch. Look for how well Spaces connect to outside apps, any limits or fees, the arrival of sharing, and whether the 10 million user figure grows.
