Meta wants your next gadget to be Muse-infused
Meta has launched 'Muse Gadgets,' an open-source project that allows developers to build custom hardware integrated with its Muse AI agent. The company is also distributing free 'Home Link' devices to subscribers to encourage smart home connectivity.
Why it matters
Meta is attempting to expand its AI ecosystem beyond software by fostering a hardware developer community, signaling a shift toward integrated AI-physical products.
Meta’s Muse, a personal AI agent that books travel, fills out forms, and shops on a user’s behalf, has already proven popular with the masses, but a new side project could be particularly alluring to tinkerers and hackers.
On Friday, the company introduced Muse Gadgets , an open-source project that lets developers build their own hardware that connects to Muse.
Meta is providing open-source firmware (the low-level software that runs a device), and a Linux software development kit (SDK), along with a few project ideas to get users started. These include giving Muse a color e-ink display or loading it onto a stick that plugs into a TV’s HDMI port.
