Meta wants you to build your own AI gadget, and it’s giving away the code
Meta is taking an unusual approach to the AI hardware race: instead of deciding what the next AI gadget should look like, it wants people to build their own. The company has launched Muse Gadgets, an open-source project that allows developers and hobbyists to connect physical hardware to Muse, Meta’s personal AI agent.

Meta is revolutionizing the AI hardware landscape by encouraging users to build their own devices using open-source code. The company has introduced Muse Gadgets, an initiative that allows developers and enthusiasts to connect physical hardware to Muse, Meta's personal AI agent. Users can employ an ESP32 board, Raspberry Pi, or any Linux computer to program Muse, which can then interface with various hardware such as displays, buttons, speakers, and sensors.
Meta has made its device SDKs and firmware available as open-source software under the Apache 2.0 license. Potential applications include AI-powered screens, pocket-sized devices with screens and buttons, and even turning a Raspberry Pi into a Muse-enabled television. Meta's Muse Home Link, a small USB-C-powered gadget, facilitates the connection to a user's home Wi-Fi network, enabling interaction with compatible devices.
This hardware, manufactured by Meta, is being distributed free of charge to active Muse subscribers in the United States, with limited availability. The initiative aims to expand Muse's reach beyond phones and computers, fostering a diverse ecosystem of physical devices powered by Meta's AI agent.
