Meta now lets you make your ownMuse gadgetsthat feature the company’s new AI agent with code that the companyopen sourced. The company suggests projects like loading Muse on a color E Ink display to show reminders, adding it to an HDMI stick so you can display Muse on a big screen, or putting Muse on a small touchscreen device to make what looks kind of like a DIYMuse Charm.
“Muse gadgets are open source devices you build yourself,” Meta says. “Program an off-the-shelf ESP32 board or set up a Raspberry Pi with our SDKs, then connect Muse to your displays, buttons, sensors, actuators, and whatever else you’ve got lying on your workbench.” However, Meta cautions that you should “Proceed at your own risk!”
The company is also giving away a Muse Home Link gadget that it created. With the Muse Home Link, you use community-built skills to have the AI agent “turn on a light, control your TV, send a document to a printer, and more, depending on your setup,” Meta says. It manufactured 5,000 of the gadgets,according to Meta Superintelligence Labs’ Nat Friedman, and you can claim a waitlist spot for the Muse Home Link now ahead of shipping sometime this month.
