Meta released open-source code so anyone can build their own Muse AI gadgets using ESP32 boards or Raspberry Pis, and is also giving away 5,000 of its own Muse Home Link device to control smart home devices. The company is essentially letting hobbyists turn the AI agent into whatever form factor they want.
- Meta open sourced SDKs for Muse so developers can load it onto off-the-shelf hardware like E Ink displays, HDMI sticks, or touchscreens
- The company manufactured 5,000 Muse Home Link gadgets and opened a waitlist for free units shipping this month
