Meta is inviting developers to integrate its Muse AI agent into custom hardware environments. By open sourcing the necessary code, the company enables enthusiasts to deploy the agent on Raspberry Pi boards or ESP32 microcontrollers, effectively allowing for the creation of bespoke smart home interfaces and digital displays.

Custom hardware integration

The Scale Report understands that these projects allow for various form factors, including E Ink displays for notifications or small touchscreens that function similarly to Meta's own internal hardware prototypes. The company advises builders to proceed with caution as they connect sensors and actuators to these experimental units. This move mimics a broader industry trend where major tech players push proprietary agents into the hands of tinkerers to accelerate ecosystem adoption.

Home Link availability

Beyond the DIY code release, the company is distributing 5,000 units of a pre-built device called the Muse Home Link. According to Nat Friedman of Meta Superintelligence Labs, this device is designed to utilize community-built skills to handle peripheral control, such as managing lighting or printer queues. Interested users can currently join a waitlist, with shipping scheduled for later this month.
