On November 6, 2026, Meta announced "spaces," a new feature for its personal AI agent Muse that lets users create dedicated screens for specific purposes. Users describe what they want to do in conversation, and Muse builds the screen, which can be edited later and used repeatedly. Meta says spaces is available from the same day in all regions where Muse is offered.
Muse, which launched in Japan in October, is a product that works through tasks once users tell it their goals. With this addition, users can keep a screen for each purpose at hand and adjust its content and layout. There is also a feature that updates information on a screen from connected apps. However, external actions such as sending email or making purchases need to be considered separately, in light of the permission and confirmation rules Meta has already described for Muse itself.
A screen built in conversation becomes your regular entry point to Muse
To create a space, you explain its purpose to Muse. Meta says the finished screen can be adjusted afterward, not only in content but also in appearance and behavior. Rather than rereading a chat response each time, users return to a screen tailored to a particular task.
Within a screen, users can tick off items, add notes, and edit content. According to Meta, those changes are still there when the screen is opened again. It is a setup that doesn't end with the initial instructions; users keep refining it as they go.
Created screens can be placed in the sidebar or main tabs, hidden, or set to appear at certain times. Meta gave the example of using a schedule-organizing screen on weekdays and showing weekend plans on Saturdays. What is specified here is when a screen appears; Meta did not present it as a feature for scheduling external actions such as purchases or sending email.
Uses extend to school notices and order management
To keep using a screen over time, it also matters how its contents are updated when outside information changes. Meta says that once users connect the apps they use, information such as concert dates, prices, and savings progress is updated in the background. The idea is to handle changing information in one place each time you return to the screen.
For example, Meta showed a school-related screen that finds events relevant to a child in email and adds them to a calendar. For small businesses, it cited a screen that gathers orders and customer messages and shows what needs to ship that day. For someone following a musician's new releases and performances, a screen could pull together information unrelated to work.
All of these are examples presented by Meta, not measured results of successful operations. How often connected information is refreshed and how accurate it is have not been disclosed.
The Verge's Emma Roth described spaces as an app-like experience, citing Gmail and Google Calendar as examples of external apps, and also mentioning OpenTable and Notion. This is the publication's description, not an official list of services with spaces-specific support.
Updating a screen and acting on external services are separate things
In the school example, displaying events on a screen and adding them to a calendar coexist. But information changing on a screen is a different process from taking action on an external service. Whether screens can be shared with other people is a further question that needs to be checked separately.
The table below organizes the explanations in Meta's November 6 spaces announcement and its October 23 announcement of Muse in Japan into four areas: creation, updates, actions, and sharing. Screen creation and information updates come from the spaces announcement, approval for external actions from the earlier Japan announcement, and sharing with others is still under consideration.
| What you do | Meta's explanation | Conditions to note |
|---|---|---|
| Create a screen | Create it by describing its purpose; content, appearance, behavior and layout can be adjusted | Describes screens within Muse; does not specify distribution as a standalone app |
| Update information | Information from connected apps is updated in the background | Requires app connection; update frequency and accuracy not disclosed |
| Act on external services | Users are asked to confirm before important actions such as sending email or making purchases; users choose connected services and access scope | From the October explanation of Muse itself; does not indicate any additional approval specific to spaces |
| Share with others | Meta is considering ways to share spaces | Has not announced that co-editing or public distribution is available |
The difference is easiest to see by returning to the school example. Gathering events from email and displaying them is one stage; adding them to an external calendar is another, involving a different kind of operation. Meta says that for Muse itself, users choose which apps to connect and the scope of access, and can change permissions or disconnect. It has not said which confirmation screen appears, or when, in this particular example.
The statement that users are asked to confirm before important actions should also be distinguished from a guarantee that every action will require confirmation. Being able to view information inside a screen doesn't by itself determine how much users can safely delegate in terms of external actions.
Using it in Japan: which connections to start with
Meta's November announcement covers all regions where Muse is available. Muse launched in Japan on October 23, so Japan falls within this policy. Muse is available on iOS, Android, and muse.ai, but we have not confirmed whether spaces has appeared on individual accounts or devices, or how accurately it works in Japanese.
In its Japan announcement, Meta also said that in addition to existing app integrations, it plans to move forward with integrations with domestic services. When deciding which service to use on which screen, it helps to separate two questions: what purpose the information from your usual connected services will serve, and how far you want to delegate actions beyond that.
For instance, music or order screens are useful even if they only show and organize updated information. The school example, on the other hand, includes adding events to a calendar, so how external actions are handled should be checked in addition to display. The more information a screen can hold, the more your choice of connected services and the access you grant will shape how you use it.
If the screen sharing Meta is considering takes shape, who can access whose information will also become a factor in deciding whether to use it. For now, the conditions for making it a daily tool are whether you can connect the information you need and choose the scope of actions you want it to take.
