Meta recently launched its Muse Agents, a new generation of cuddly assistant agents. Today, the company launched Spaces, a new way to communicate and collaborate with them.
As far as I can tell, Spaces are essentially small group conversations that revolve around a particular topic – although Meta calls them “personalized experiences.” They live in the sidebar of the interface where you interact with your Muse agent. Clicking on the space brings up the conversation, in which Muse works towards a particular goal on your behalf.
For example, if you want to plan a vacation, you can open a new space focused on that particular project, and each time you want to work on it with Muse, you click to open that particular tab. Or, if you are focused on collecting recipes for an upcoming family event, you would open up a new space for that particular project. Other examples given by Meta are a holiday gift tracker, a wedding planner, or a space for DIY projects.
“Describe an idea in chat and Muse creates a space for you, whether it’s a tracker, planner, or project board,” says Meta.
Spaces can also be easily integrated with third-party apps and information, Meta says.
“Connect the apps you use and your Spaces stay updated in the background, so new concert dates, price changes, or savings progress appear without you having to ask,” the company explains.
On Friday, Mark Zuckerberg, founder and CEO of Meta, posted about the new feature on
Muse Agents – and the cuddly avatars around them – have been met with a relatively warm welcome over the past few months. During his earnings conference call in October, Zuckerberg said his Agents had 10 million users in the United States and Canada, less than two months after Agents debuted.
The company is obviously busy developing the user experience around agents. Spaces is actually the second new Muse feature launched by Meta in the last week. On Thursday, the company also announced Muse Voice, which allows users to video chat with their agent and give them commands verbally.
The company competes with other cute and cuddly AI agents, including OpenAI’s Dots and SpaceXAI’s Grokbot, which debuted with similarly cartoonish characters.
