Meta releases Muse Gadgets code, gives away 5,000 Home Links
Developers can connect the Muse AI agent to ESP32 and Raspberry Pi boards. The Home Link dongle is free, but only for subscribers and while supplies last.
Meta released the code for Muse Gadgets on Oct. 2, a project that lets hobbyists and developers build devices that use Muse, its personal AI agent. The official GitHub repository has two development kits: one for ESP32 boards and one for Linux, aimed at a Raspberry Pi. The license is Apache 2.0, with exceptions for two third-party components.
To use it, you request a token at gadgets.muse.ai and accept the SDK terms before flashing or pairing a device. Meta lists e-ink displays, HDMI dongles and button accessories as examples, according to TechCrunch.
Besides the code, the company introduced the Muse Home Link, a USB-C dongle that links Muse to the home network and to TVs, speakers and other devices. Meta made 5,000 units and will give them to Muse subscribers "while supplies last". Shipping would start in a few weeks. Neither TechCrunch nor Engadget says which countries it will reach, or gives a price or general availability.
For readers in Mexico, the Home Link is a limited offer and Meta has not said whether it will reach the country. Muse, the agent, has been in public beta since Sept. 25.
Nat Friedman, head of product at Meta Superintelligence Labs, leads the project. He said the Home Link lets Muse talk to the smart devices on a home network.
Everything comes from Meta itself. No independent testing has measured the product, and Meta does not explain what household information Muse receives through the Home Link or how it is protected.
Still pending are the exact shipping date and the list of Home Link countries.
