Meta is inviting developers to build hardware for its Muse AI agent through Muse Gadgets, an open-source project that provides firmware and a Linux SDK. The initiative broadens the ways people might interact with Muse beyond Meta’s own devices.

The company has introduced the Muse Home Link, a USB-C-powered device designed to connect Muse to compatible smart home devices. Meta product head Nat Friedman said it can communicate with devices such as TVs and speakers that expose HTTPS.

Meta plans to give 5,000 Home Links to Muse subscribers. The company has not set out broader plans for the initiative, and details about compatibility remain limited.
