Meta added Spaces to Muse on Nov. 6, giving users a way to turn a chat request into a tracker, planner or other interactive view they can reopen inside the app. Describe the job, then ask Muse to change the layout or add a field as you use it. Meta says Spaces are available wherever Muse is offered, including the US. Meta's Spaces announcement · US App Store listing
Start with a tracker you'll use more than once
If you're keeping track of holiday gifts, try asking Muse to build a space with one row per recipient and fields for the gift idea, budget, order status and delivery date. Put two or three items in by hand. If orders start to pile up, ask it to show only items that haven't arrived or give shipped orders their own view. Those are example instructions you can adapt, and you can check the result against your order confirmation before relying on any delivery date.
The same approach works for a trip. Start with the places you plan to visit and the reservations you've made. Ask for a view grouped by day, with an area for details you still need to confirm. The more specific you are about what belongs in the view, the easier it is to spot a field you need or a detail Muse has put in the wrong place. For a weekly planner, try a narrower prompt first, such as a view for Tuesday's errands and appointments. Expand it after you see how it handles the list.
Meta's demo shows that you can keep a space in the sidebar, move it into the main tabs or hide it when you're done. Meta also says you can schedule when a space appears. That's useful if you want a work planner in view Monday through Friday and a separate list for weekend errands. You can also edit notes and check off items in a space directly.

Decide what Muse needs to read
A list you maintain yourself has little reason to pull in your inbox. Try the space with manually entered information first. A connection becomes more useful when the information lives somewhere else and changes often, such as a trip itinerary you update in a calendar. Meta says connected apps can supply changes to a space in the background. The company gives examples such as new concert dates and price changes, so check which connection is supplying the information before counting on a space to stay current. Meta's Spaces announcement
The permissions matter beyond any one tracker. Meta says people can decide which apps Muse connects to and what access it gets. For email, the company gives separate examples of reading messages and sending them on a person's behalf. If all you need is information from a connection, check the permissions shown before you approve it. Meta says you can change access or disconnect the service later. Meta's explanation of app access
When to keep a shared list elsewhere
Meta describes Spaces as personal views and says it's exploring ways for people to share them. If several people need to edit the same holiday list, keep that list in a document they can all access. A separate space can hold your own orders and delivery dates. If someone else needs to act on a hotel reservation or an appointment, keep the original confirmation handy so you can send it directly. Meta's note on sharing
If you already use Muse on iOS, Android or the web, start in your existing account. Meta's demo begins with describing what you want to build in chat. Give the space one job you can check in a few minutes, then decide whether it deserves a spot in your tabs. Meta's Muse launch guide
