Meta introduces Spaces, custom mini-experiences built by describing them in Muse

Meta introduced spaces in its Muse app on 6 November, a feature that lets people build a custom experience inside the app by describing what they want. In its announcement, the company gave examples such as a holiday gift tracker, a daily word game and a planning board for a DIY project.

How spaces work

Meta says a user tells Muse about an idea and Muse builds it. The first version is a starting point: people can keep adjusting a space with Muse, adding what is missing, changing its look or changing how it works. Each space becomes part of the app, and users can pin spaces to the sidebar or main tabs, hide them, or schedule when they appear, for example swapping a weekday planner for weekend plans on Saturday.

The company says spaces can connect to the apps people already use and update themselves in the background, so items such as new concert dates, price changes or savings progress appear without a new request. Its suggested uses range from a school dashboard that pulls events out of school emails into a calendar, to an order tracker for a small business and a client hub for freelance work.

Availability

Meta says spaces are available from launch everywhere Muse is available. It is also exploring ways for people to share spaces with others, and is rolling out specialised versions of its models to Muse.

What remains to be tested

The announcement is Meta’s own description of the feature. It does not give usage figures, and how reliably a described idea turns into a working tool will only become clear as people use it. The shift it signals is that Meta is putting app-like customisation in front of ordinary users, rather than keeping it to developer tools.
