Muse Spaces Is Live: Build Your Own App Inside Muse

Meta launched Spaces on November 6, 2026. Describe a tracker, a planner, or a project board and Muse builds it as a custom experience you keep in your sidebar. Sharing is not live yet, and Meta has not stated a limit on how many Spaces you can make.

Last checked against the live product: November 7, 2026, evening check.

Spaces Watch

Spaces Watch

A standing box for the Spaces rollout, updated when any line below moves. Last updated November 7, 2026, evening, from Meta's November 6 announcement, TechCrunch's November 6 report, and checks through November 7 evening that found no Meta follow-up post on Spaces and no change to any line below.

  • Live now: Spaces, in Muse, available everywhere Muse is available (Meta, November 6, 2026). You describe an idea and Muse creates a custom experience from it.
  • Where it lives: in your sidebar, or moved into your main tabs. You can hide a Space you do not need right now, and schedule when it appears (Meta).
  • How it stays current: connect the apps you use, and a Space keeps itself up to date in the background. Meta's examples are new concert dates, price changes, and savings progress showing up without you having to ask.
  • Coming, not live: sharing. Meta's exact position is that it is exploring ways for you to share your Spaces with others. The Verge, on November 6, puts it the same way. No date is given, and no share link is described.
  • Not stated by anyone yet: how many Spaces you can create, on the free tier or on a paid plan. Checks on November 7 found no source confirming a limit such as 10 Spaces free or 50 on Power. The figures those searches returned were token limits and Muse Code prompt limits, not Spaces limits, so the 10 and 50 figures read as a mix-up with a different product surface, not as a Spaces rule.
  • Also not stated: who can see or edit a Space once sharing exists, whether a Space can be deleted, and what happens to the data a connected app has put into it if it is shared or deleted.
  • Price and place, unchanged on November 7: Muse is in five countries, the US, Canada, Japan, Singapore, and Mexico. US pricing in Meta's help pages is still free, Power at $20 a month, and Maximum at $100 a month. No tier is named as required for Spaces, and the free tier is not named as included either.
  • Next recheck, a promise with a date: this site will recheck sharing, limits, and the delete and data questions on November 13, 2026, and will date that recheck in this box even if nothing has changed. It will also recheck sooner if Meta publishes any of them.

A Space Is Not a Chat: It Stays in Your Sidebar

A Space is a custom experience inside Muse. Meta's opening examples are a holiday gift tracker, a daily word game, and a planning board for a DIY project. You do not build it in a separate tool. You describe the idea to Muse, Muse builds it, and the result stays inside Muse where you can return to it.

That persistence is the difference from an ordinary chat. A chat is a conversation you scroll back through. A Space is a thing you keep: you can check items off, add notes, and make edits right in it, and Meta says everything will be there when you return. You can also keep changing it with Muse after it exists, adding what is missing, trying a new look, or changing how it works.

TechCrunch, reporting on November 6, describes Spaces as custom experiences that live in the sidebar of the interface where you interact with your Muse agent. That matches Meta's own placement language, and it is worth holding onto, because sidebar is a specific claim. This is not a file Muse exports for you to open somewhere else. On the record published so far, a Space lives in Muse.

How you build one, on the published record

Meta gives the method in one sentence, and then stops. The steps below use only what Meta and TechCrunch state. Steps no source has named are listed as gaps after them, not invented.

  1. Tell Muse the idea. Meta's words: have an idea you have been meaning to try, tell Muse about it, and it builds it for you.
  2. Use it, then adjust it with Muse. Meta lists three kinds of adjustment: adding what is missing, trying a new look, and changing how it works.
  3. Put it where you want it. Add it to your sidebar, move it into your main tabs, hide it, or schedule when it appears.
  4. Connect the apps you use, if you want it to stay current on its own. Meta says connected apps are what let a Space update itself in the background.
  5. Work in it directly. Check things off, add notes, and make edits in the Space itself.

What no source describes yet: a button name, a menu path, or a Create a Space screen. Meta's announcement has no screenshot caption or settings path for starting one, and TechCrunch does not name one either. If a reader opens Muse today looking for a Spaces button, this post cannot point them to one by name, because no published source has named one. The in-app screen, when a source states it, will be added here with a date.

Field note

The honest test of this feature is not the first build. Anyone who has kept a tracker in a notes app knows the pattern: the setup afternoon goes well, and the tracker dies in week three because updating it was manual. Meta's claim for Spaces is aimed straight at that failure, a board that updates itself from connected apps while you do something else. That claim is checkable in a way launch claims often are not. Build one Space that depends on a connected app, leave it alone for a week, and see whether the new dates and prices arrived without a prompt from you.

What Meta says you can build

Meta lists nine examples, and the list is more useful than the announcement headline because it shows the range Meta is claiming:

  • A shopping hub that brings holiday and birthday gift ideas, wishlists from Instagram saves, and your Marketplace listings and buyer messages into one view
  • A school dashboard that finds the events relevant to your kids in school emails and adds them to your calendar
  • A music tracker for the artists you love, with new releases and upcoming shows
  • A wedding planner with your RSVP list, vendor invoices, and to-dos
  • A trivia game that quizzes you on your favorite movies, music, or sports team
  • A podcast studio to keep your episode ideas, research, and scripts together
  • An order tracker for a small business, with new orders, customer messages, and what needs to ship today
  • A client hub for freelance work, with projects, deadlines, and invoices
  • A trip planner with your flights, hotel, reservations, and a day by day itinerary

Mark Zuckerberg's own examples, reported by TechCrunch from his post on November 6, are smaller and odder: a BBQ game, an event tracker, and a home control dashboard. Put the two lists together and the spread is the point. Meta is pitching Spaces for errands, family logistics, and small business work. The chief executive's list is a game and a dashboard for his house.

One caution rides on Meta's list. Several examples depend on connected apps doing real work: school emails read correctly, Marketplace messages pulled into one view, invoices kept straight. Meta states these as things Spaces can help with. It does not publish, in this post, which connectors each example needs, or whether every one of those connectors is live in every country where Spaces is available. A reader who builds the school dashboard first should expect to learn which parts are live by trying it, not from the announcement.

Where a Space lives, and when it shows up

You choose the placement. Meta: add Spaces to your sidebar, move them into your main tabs, hide the ones you do not need right now, and schedule when they appear. Its example is a weekly planner kept up front during the workweek, then swapped for weekend plans on Saturday.

Scheduling matters more than it looks. A planner that is always in the sidebar is furniture after a month. A planner that appears on Monday and gives way to a weekend board on Saturday is closer to how people actually rotate their attention. Meta has described the control. It has not described the limits: how many Spaces can sit in the sidebar at once, whether a schedule can be daily or only weekly, or what happens to a hidden Space's background updates. Those are small questions, and they are exactly the kind a help page usually answers. No help page stating them was found on November 7.

A Space that keeps up with you

This is Meta's strongest claim, and it is quoted here at the weight Meta gives it. Connect the apps you use, and your Spaces keep themselves up to date in the background, so new concert dates, price changes, or savings progress show up without you having to ask.

Three things follow from that sentence, if it holds in use. First, a Space is only as current as the apps you connect to it. An unconnected trip planner is a prettier notes page. Second, background updating means a Space can change between your visits, which makes the edit history question real: if a price in your shopping hub changed on Tuesday, can you see what it was on Monday? Meta does not say. Third, the claim separates Spaces from the artifacts and shared pages this site has covered before. Those were outputs. A Space, on Meta's description, is an ongoing surface that its owner keeps editing and that connected apps keep feeding.

Who gets it, and what it costs

Meta: starting today, Spaces are available everywhere Muse is available. Today, on this site's dated country record, that is five countries: the US, Canada, Japan, Singapore, and Mexico. Mexico was the most recent addition, launched on November 5.

TechCrunch adds one scale figure, attributed where it belongs. During Meta's October earnings call, Zuckerberg said its agents had 10 million users in the US and Canada. That is a Meta figure from an earnings call, reported by TechCrunch on November 6. It is not a Spaces figure. Nobody has published how many people have built a Space, and this post will not estimate one from the other.

On price, the record is silence, and silence cuts both ways. Meta's Spaces post names no plan and no price. Meta's help pages, checked in the November 7 verification, still list Muse as free with a usage limit, Power at $20 a month, and Maximum at $100 a month, with no change reported on November 6 or 7. Whether building Spaces draws on the same weekly token budget as other Muse work is a real question for subscribers, and no source checked on November 7 answers it.

Caution

Do not trust a Spaces limit you read on a roundup site this week unless it links to Meta stating it. Two figures are already circulating without a Meta source behind them: 10 Spaces on the free tier and 50 on Power. The November 7 checks looked specifically for a free tier limit and a Power limit on the number of Spaces. What came back was Muse's token limits, a different thing entirely: weekly token allowances by plan, not a count of Spaces. A limit copied from a token table into a Spaces table would be a fabrication, however tidy it looks. This post leaves the limit line blank, dated November 7, until a Meta source fills it.

Sharing is not live, whatever the headlines imply

TechCrunch's headline calls Spaces a new way to collaborate with your Muse agent. Read the body, and the collaboration is ahead of the product. Meta says it is exploring ways for you to share your Spaces with others, to build a more collaborative experience in Muse. The Verge, also on November 6, says the company is looking into ways to share your Spaces with other users and collaborate with them.

Exploring and looking into are future verbs. There is no share button described, no link format, no permission setting, and no statement that another person can open your Space today. Readers who followed the October share link story on this site have reason to be careful here: a sharing system for agent outputs has already produced one public exposure problem in Muse's short history, in a different feature. Spaces sharing, when it arrives, will need its own record, not an assumption carried over from chat sharing.

That follow-up already has a number on this site's idea list, number 140: when Spaces can be shared, who can see, edit, or delete a Space, and what happens to its data. It stays unanswered until a Meta post, help page, or in-app screen states it.

One line about Wonder, kept in its place

Meta's Spaces post ends with a second announcement in one sentence: it is also rolling out specialized versions of its models to Muse, trained with learnings from Muse Wonder, to make the overall experience better. That sentence is all the Spaces post says about it. The performance figures attached to the Wonder trained models elsewhere are Meta claimed, with no evaluation method published in the sources checked on November 6 and 7, and they belong to a separate post that treats them that way. They are not repeated here as if they were measured results about Spaces.

The questions Meta did not answer

Four, and they are the ones this site will keep asking in the open, in the Spaces Watch box above.

Limits. How many Spaces can one account create, free or paid? Not stated, checked November 7.

Delete. Can a Space be deleted, and is deletion permanent? Not stated, checked November 7. Hiding is the only removal-like control Meta has named, and hiding is not deletion.

Data. When a connected app has put data into a Space, what happens to that data if the Space is hidden, deleted, or later shared? Not stated, checked November 7.

Seeing and editing. Once sharing exists, who can see a shared Space, who can edit it, and can the owner take access back? Not stated, because sharing itself is not live, checked November 7.

A launch post is allowed to leave questions open. What it is not allowed to do, on this site, is have those openings filled in by guesswork in the retelling. Each line above stays labeled unanswered, with its date, until a source fills it.

Next: tell me what you built first

One reader question, and it is a practical one: if you have Spaces in your Muse today, what did you build first, and did it update itself afterward without you prompting it? The announcement examples are Meta's. The first week of reader builds, a gift tracker that caught a price change, a school dashboard that missed an email, is what will show whether the background update claim holds outside a launch post.

Quick answers

What are Muse Spaces?

Custom experiences you create inside Muse by describing an idea, such as a tracker, a planner, or a project board (Meta, November 6, 2026). TechCrunch describes them as custom experiences that live in the sidebar where you interact with your Muse agent.

Is Muse Spaces live now?

Yes. Meta launched Spaces on November 6, 2026, and says they are available everywhere Muse is available. That is five countries on this site's dated record: the US, Canada, Japan, Singapore, and Mexico.

How do I build a Space in Muse?

Tell Muse the idea and it builds it for you, per Meta. You can then adjust it with Muse, place it in your sidebar or main tabs, hide it, schedule when it appears, and connect apps so it updates in the background. No source has published a button name or menu path yet.

Can I share a Space with someone else?

Not on the published record. Meta says it is exploring ways for you to share your Spaces with others, and The Verge puts it the same way. No date, link format, or permission setting has been published.

How many Spaces can I create?

Not stated. Checks on November 7, 2026 found no Meta source confirming any count limit, free or paid. The limits those searches returned were weekly token limits by plan, not Spaces limits.

Does a Space update itself?

That is Meta's claim: connect the apps you use, and a Space keeps itself up to date in the background, with new concert dates, price changes, or savings progress showing up without you having to ask. It has not been independently tested in the sources checked on November 7.

Do Spaces cost extra?

No price or required plan is named in Meta's launch post. US pricing in Meta's help pages is unchanged: free with a usage limit, Power at $20 a month, and Maximum at $100 a month. Whether building a Space draws on your weekly token budget is not stated.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is a Space the same as a chat with Muse?

A: No, on Meta's description. A chat is a conversation. A Space is a custom experience you keep, placed in your sidebar or main tabs, that you can check items off in, add notes to, and edit directly, and that persists between visits. You still use Muse to build it and to change it.

Q: Can I change a Space after Muse builds it?

A: Yes. Meta says your initial idea is the starting point, and as you use a Space you can keep adjusting it with Muse, adding what is missing, trying a new look, or changing how it works. You can also edit inside the Space yourself.

Q: Where do Spaces appear in the app?

A: In your sidebar, per Meta and TechCrunch, or moved into your main tabs. You can hide a Space, and schedule when it appears. Meta's example is a weekly planner up front during the workweek, swapped for weekend plans on Saturday.

Q: Is Spaces available outside the US?

A: Meta says Spaces are available everywhere Muse is available. Muse is in the US, Canada, Japan, Singapore, and Mexico on the dated record checked November 7, 2026. Meta does not publish a country list in the Spaces post itself.

Q: Can other people see or edit my Space?

A: Not established, because sharing is not live. Meta is exploring ways to share Spaces, per its November 6 post. Who could see or edit a shared Space, and whether access could be taken back, are unanswered questions this site has filed as idea number 140 and will recheck on November 13, 2026.

Q: Can I delete a Space, and what happens to its data?

A: Not stated in any source checked on November 7, 2026. Meta's launch post does not mention deletion, and no help page stating a delete path or a data rule was found. The question stays in the Spaces Watch box until a source answers it.

Q: Did Meta change Muse pricing when Spaces launched?

A: No change was found. The November 7 verification checked Meta's help pages and found free, Power at $20 a month, and Maximum at $100 a month, unchanged, and no report of a November 6 or 7 pricing change. No Spaces price or plan requirement was published.
