How to Build Custom Spaces in Meta Muse

Meta rolled out Spaces in the Muse app on November 6, 2026. You describe an idea in chat and Muse builds a dedicated experience for it—trackers, planners, or project boards that live in the sidebar or main tabs.

Spaces turn Muse from a general chat into focused work surfaces. Each one stays tied to a single goal. Connect your apps and the space updates in the background with new dates, price changes, or progress.

What a Space Is

A space is a custom experience you design inside Muse by describing it. Meta’s official announcement lists practical examples: a holiday gift tracker, a school dashboard that pulls events from emails, a wedding planner with RSVP lists and vendor invoices, a trip planner with itineraries, or a music tracker for new releases and shows.

You can also build lighter tools such as a daily word game or a trivia quiz about your favorite team. Mark Zuckerberg posted on X that he created a BBQ game, an event tracker, and a home-control dashboard.

Every space becomes part of your Muse. You place it where you want and return to it anytime. Changes you make—checking items, adding notes—persist.

How to Create a Space

Open the Muse app or muse.ai and start a conversation.

1. Describe the idea clearly. Example: “Build a holiday gift tracker that pulls wishlists from my Instagram saves and shows Marketplace listings.”
2. Muse generates the first version. Review the layout and content.
3. Refine it. Ask Muse to add missing sections, change the look, or adjust how it works. The initial build is only a starting point.
4. Place the space. Pin it to the sidebar, move it into main tabs, hide it, or schedule when it appears. Meta’s example: keep a weekly planner up front on workdays, then swap it for weekend plans on Saturday.

You can interact directly inside the space—check items off, edit notes, or update lists—without leaving the view.

Keep Spaces Updated with Connected Apps

Connect the apps you already use. Once linked, spaces pull fresh information in the background. New concert dates, price drops, or savings progress appear without a new prompt.

Meta notes that spaces can draw from services Muse already supports. Examples in coverage include Gmail, Google Calendar, Instagram saves, and Marketplace. You control which apps Muse can access.

This is the main difference from a static note or spreadsheet. The space stays current while you focus on other work.

Practical Examples You Can Build

Meta’s announcement highlights several ready-to-use ideas:

• Shopping hub that gathers holiday and birthday gift ideas, Instagram wishlists, and Marketplace listings plus buyer messages.
• School dashboard that finds relevant events in school emails and adds them to your calendar.
• Wedding planner that tracks your RSVP list, vendor invoices, and to-dos.
• Client hub for freelance work that shows projects, deadlines, and invoices.
• Order tracker for a small business with new orders, customer messages, and what needs to ship today.
• Podcast studio that keeps episode ideas, research, and scripts together.
• Trip planner with flights, hotel, reservations, and a day-by-day itinerary.

Start with one clear goal. After the first version appears, iterate with short follow-up requests.

Organize Your Muse Sidebar

Spaces live alongside regular chats. You decide their position. Add them to the sidebar for quick access or move them into the main tabs. Hide ones you are not using right now. Schedule appearance so a work-focused space shows during the week and a personal one takes its place on weekends.

This keeps the main chat clean while specialized tools stay one click away.

Tips for Better Results

Be specific in the first description. Include the data sources you want and the main actions (check off, add notes, view progress). After Muse builds the space, test one update cycle by connecting a relevant app and confirming new information appears.

Review permissions when you connect apps. Muse runs in its own secure environment and asks for approval on sensitive actions, consistent with how the agent already works.

Spaces are available everywhere Muse is available. Meta is exploring sharing and collaboration features, but those are not part of the initial rollout.

Conclusion

Spaces let you turn a short description into a living workspace inside Muse. Describe the tracker, planner, or dashboard you need, place it where it fits your routine, and let connected apps keep it current. Start with one clear project—such as a gift list or weekly planner—and refine it as you use it.
