Meta opens Muse AI to DIY hardware developers
Open-source code and SDKs let users connect Meta’s Muse agent to ESP32 boards and Raspberry Pi. The company says 5,000 Home Link devices are planned for shipment this month.
Meta has released open-source code and software development kits that let people connect its Muse AI agent to hardware they build themselves, extending the ways users can interact with the system.
The project supports off-the-shelf ESP32 boards and Raspberry Pi. Meta says developers can connect displays, buttons, sensors and other components, with suggested projects including a colour E Ink display for reminders and a touchscreen device.
Meta cautions that people building their own Muse gadgets should proceed at their own risk. The company has not detailed the full range of compatible hardware or the capabilities of community-built software.
Meta is also offering a limited run of Muse Home Link devices, which are designed to connect Muse with compatible smart-home equipment. Meta Superintelligence Labs’ Nat Friedman said the company made 5,000 units.
A waitlist is open ahead of planned shipping this month, though Meta has not specified an exact date or how devices will be allocated. The company says Home Link could be used to control lights or TVs and send documents to a printer, depending on the setup and community-built skills.
