GoKawiilMeta launches Muse Gadgets, an open-source hardware kit for its AI agent
Meta released Muse Gadgets, an open-source project providing firmware and a Linux SDK so developers can build custom hardware that connects to its Muse AI agent, with suggested projects like e-ink displays or HDMI stick devices. The company also built its own gadget, Muse Home Link, a USB-C device that lets Muse control smart home devices, and is giving away 5,000 units free to subscribers while supplies last.
GoKawiil's interpretation of the reporting above, not reported fact.
The move suggests Meta wants Muse to extend beyond phones and apps into physical devices, potentially building an ecosystem of hobbyist and third-party hardware around its AI assistant. Pairing this with Meta's recent push into small-business tools indicates a broader strategy to embed Muse across consumer, hobbyist, and enterprise use cases rather than keep it a standalone chatbot.
