In a September design essay, Meta’s Muse team explains why it added a Goals tab: an activity list was not enough to show everything the agent was tracking and how it planned to get there. The authors also describe side chats for topics needing separate context, alongside a main ongoing conversation that can accept several tasks without waiting for each reply.
The essay describes Artifacts as interactive outputs that can live beyond a message, including itineraries and dashboards. These are product-design claims illustrated by the team, not results of our own testing. The page gives only September 2026 as its date, so the exact publication day is left unspecified rather than inferred from surrounding launch coverage.
Editorial take: A persistent assistant needs a readable account of its obligations. A chat transcript is good for discussion but awkward for checking what is still open. A dedicated goal view can help people notice an abandoned task, challenge a stale plan and decide whether the agent’s next action still matches what they want.
