Meta opens Muse AI hardware project to developers

Meta is inviting developers and makers to connect its Muse AI agent to hardware through Muse Gadgets, an open-source project, while offering a limited batch of its own Muse Home Link device free to eligible subscribers. The initiative gives developers tools to experiment with ways of bringing Muse beyond phones, though Meta has not said whether it will become a broader consumer hardware platform. The Muse Gadgets project provides software development kits and open-source resources for connecting Muse to devices such as displays, buttons, sensors and other components. Developers can use an ESP32 board or a Raspberry Pi, according to the project description. Meta has suggested experiments including an E Ink screen for reminders and a connection that puts Muse on a larger display. Meta’s own example is Muse Home Link, a USB-C-powered device designed to connect Muse to a home network and compatible smart-home devices. Meta product head Nat Friedman said the company manufactured 5,000 units and was offering them free to active Muse subscribers in the United States, limited to one per subscriber while supplies last.
