Meta wants your next gadget to be Muse-infused

Meta has released an open-source project called Muse Gadgets that allows developers to build custom hardware devices connected to Muse, Meta's personal AI agent that performs tasks like booking travel and shopping. The project provides open-source firmware and a software development kit, along with example projects such as e-ink displays or TV stick devices, enabling users to connect Muse to various hardware components like buttons, sensors, and displays. Meta has also created a device called Muse Home Link, a USB-powered gadget that lets Muse connect to home networks and control smart devices, with five thousand units being given free to Muse subscribers. This initiative fits into Meta's broader strategy to position Muse beyond a standalone chatbot, complementing recent efforts to expand Muse into small business tools and enterprise offerings.
