Meta Muse launches custom 'spaces' for AI workflows
Meta is shifting Muse from a passive chatbot to an active workspace with 'Spaces,' letting users build persistent, app-like interfaces for specific tasks like shopping or scheduling. By connecting external services like Gmail and Notion, these spaces pull live data into the UI, effectively turning natural language prompts into functional dashboards. This moves AI interaction beyond simple Q&A toward structured, goal-oriented environments that adapt to your daily context.

Amazon adds text-based shopping to Alexa
Amazon is extending its AI shopping assistant into the SMS layer, letting users text product requests or photos directly to a contact labeled 'Amazon Alexa.' This moves conversational commerce out of proprietary apps and into the universal interface everyone already uses. By remembering preferences like vegan diets and tracking price drops, it attempts to replicate the convenience of voice assistants without requiring a smart speaker. The rollout starts with a small US group before expanding to millions, signaling Amazon's bet that text is the next friction point for impulse buys.
