Meta added spaces to its Muse AI agent, which lets users type out an idea and have Muse build a small custom app for it, like a holiday gift list, a word game or a planner for a DIY project. Spaces can connect to a user’s other apps and refresh in the background, so a price drop or a new concert date appears without the user asking. Shopping is already a big use for Muse, with CEO Mark Zuckerberg saying on Meta’s October earnings call that about a quarter of its users buy through it. Spaces work in every market where Muse runs, which is still only the US and Canada, and Meta says it’s looking at ways to let people share them.
