What happened
Meta introduced Muse Gadgets, an open‑source project that lets developers build hardware that connects to Muse, and provided open‑source firmware and a Linux SDK for the platform.
Suggested project ideas include a color e‑ink display or a stick that plugs into a TV’s HDMI port, and developers can use hobbyist computers such as Raspberry Pi or ESP32 boards to attach displays, buttons, sensors and actuators.
Meta also created a Discord channel to support Muse Gadgets users.
Nat Friedman announced Muse Home Link, a USB‑C‑powered device that lets Muse connect to a home network and smart devices; Meta produced 5,000 units and is giving them away for free to Muse subscribers while supplies last, with shipping expected in a few weeks.
Meta introduced Muse for Small Business, a free offering with usage limits that connects Muse to Shopify, Dropbox and Slack, and launched a new Meta Enterprise Platform business unit to promote its AI services to corporate customers.
AIBeat analysis
These moves could enable hobbyist developers to prototype custom Muse accessories quickly, expanding the assistant’s reach into homes and workplaces; the free Home Link devices lower the barrier for networked integration, while the small‑business tier gives merchants a ready‑made way to embed Muse into existing workflows.
