Meta has released the open-source building blocks for Muse Gadgets, inviting developers and hobbyists to create their own AI-powered hardware built around its Muse assistant.
Announced on Friday by Nat Friedman, Head of Product at Meta Superintelligence Labs, the release includes ESP32 firmware, a Linux software development kit, a GitHub repository and developer documentation. Developers can pick up API tokens from gadgets.muse.ai and use off-the-shelf ESP32 boards or Raspberry Pi-class Linux devices to connect Muse to displays, buttons, sensors, audio and other peripherals.
"Grab an API token from gadgets.muse.ai and point your favourite coding agent at the GitHub repo to build your own peripheral for Muse," Friedman said in a post on X.
A first-party example: Muse Home Link
Alongside the announcement, Meta showed off a device of its own: Muse Home Link, a small USB-C-powered gadget that connects Muse to a home network so it can talk to smart-home devices such as TVs and speakers, or anything that exposes a local HTTP API. Meta says it has manufactured 5,000 units of the Home Link and is offering them free to Muse subscribers, with shipping expected within weeks. All the code for the device is also open source.
The release follows Muse's debut in September alongside Meta's VR glasses and a new line-up of AI glasses, as well as the launch of the company's Enterprise Platform and a version of Muse for small businesses. By handing the hardware layer to the open-source community, Meta appears to be betting that makers will build the peripheral ecosystem for its AI agent on their own.
