Meta is opening its Muse AI agent to third-party hardware. On Friday, the company introduced Muse Gadgets, an open-source project that lets developers build their own gadgets connected to Muse, the personal AI agent that books travel, fills out forms and shops on a user's behalf, according to TechCrunch.
The move pushes Meta's AI beyond phones and chatbots and into the physical devices people already own, from televisions to speakers. It also marks one of the clearest hardware plays yet in the race to define what comes after the smartphone.
Muse Gadgets developer kit and firmware
Meta is providing open-source firmware, the low-level software that runs a device, plus a Linux software development kit. Developers can pair it with low-cost boards such as a Raspberry Pi or an off-the-shelf ESP32 and connect Muse to displays, buttons, sensors and actuators.
The company also shared starter project ideas, including giving Muse a color e-ink display or loading it onto an HDMI stick that plugs into a TV. A Discord channel has been set up for support.
