Spaces, described by Meta as 'custom experiences,' allow users to engage in focused conversations around specific topics.
Muse will use 'subtle expressions and gestures' to reflect the tone and context of the conversation, enhancing the interaction experience.
Users can personalize their Muse avatar to resemble a person, animal, or another character, adding a layer of customization.
The launch of Spaces a few days ago introduced new ways for users to communicate and collaborate with Muse through voice calls, text messages, or dictation.
These spaces appear in the sidebar of the Muse interface, facilitating focused conversations where the AI works towards a specific goal.
Developers gain new tools for Maps-based apps, extending support across Android Auto, TVs, PCs, and Wear OS, enhancing the ecosystem.
Muse is now one of dozens of consumer-facing AI agents competing for users' attention, signaling Meta's growing ambitions for its AI product.
Muse's expansion across Apple devices follows its introduction on the App Store in September, highlighting Meta's focus on integrating AI into its ecosystem.

What's still developing
- Despite being a relatively new product, Meta has wasted little time introducing new capabilities to Muse.
- Rather, they essentially act as a very compact VR/XR headset, especially when compared to the likes of something like Meta Quest or Samsung’s upcoming “Project Moohan” headset.
- Bringing together the best that Wear OS offers, alongside a ton of Fitbit’s best health and fitness tracking options, the Google Pixel Watch 3 is easily one of the best Android smartwatches that money can buy right now.
