  "account": "Meta is expanding its Muse AI project by launching a new open-source initiative called Muse Gadgets. This allows developers and makers to create their own Muse-powered devices. Muse Gadgets encourages users to build gadgets using off-the-shelf ESP32 boards or Raspberry Pi systems, then connect Muse to various hardware components such as displays, buttons, sensors, and actuators. Meta has provided several project ideas on its website, such as using a color E Ink display for reminders or connecting Muse to an HDMI stick for a larger screen.\n\nMeta has also developed its own Muse gadget, the Muse Home Link, a USB-C powered device that connects Muse to a user's home Wi-Fi network and compatible smart-home devices. Community-built skills allow Muse to perform tasks like turning on lights, controlling TVs, or sending documents to printers based on the user's setup. Meta has manufactured 5,000 Home Link devices, which are being offered free to active Muse subscribers in the United States, with one device per subscriber while supplies last.\n\nThe Muse Gadgets website provides an ESP32 Device SDK, enabling users to connect displays, audio components, and sensors to Muse. Meta has also published several other project ideas on its website. While Muse Gadgets is primarily a developer and maker initiative, Meta has not ruled out turning the project into a broader consumer hardware platform. Muse Gadgets could provide Meta with ideas for future ways of integrating Muse AI agents into dedicated hardware.",
