Meta is expanding its Muse AI agent beyond smartphones and into everyday household devices by releasing an open-source framework for developers. Announced on Friday, the Muse Gadgets project allows creators to build custom hardware that integrates with Meta’s personal AI assistant, which currently handles tasks like booking travel, completing forms, and online shopping. The initiative targets hobbyists and developers interested in experimenting with AI-powered physical devices. The Muse AI agent has already gained traction among consumers for its ability to automate routine digital tasks through voice or app commands. By open-sourcing the Muse Gadgets platform, Meta aims to foster innovation in the smart home space, enabling developers to design everything from voice-controlled toasters to AI-enhanced televisions that can act on user preferences.

The company believes that giving away the code will accelerate the creation of intuitive, context-aware devices that seamlessly interact with users’ digital lives. How Developers Can Build Their Own Muse-Enabled Devices The Muse Gadgets framework provides software development kits, sample code, and documentation to help programmers connect microcontrollers and sensors to Meta’s AI backend. Developers can use tools like Arduino or Raspberry Pi to prototype devices that send voice commands or sensor data to the Muse agent, which then performs actions such as adjusting smart thermostats or ordering groceries. Meta emphasizes that all communication between devices and the Muse service occurs through secure, encrypted channels to protect user privacy. What Kind of Gadgets Could Emerge From This Initiative? Imagine a coffee maker that starts brewing when your morning alarm goes off, or a mirror that displays your calendar and weather while you brush your teeth.

With Muse Gadgets, such scenarios become feasible for independent creators without needing to build AI from scratch. Meta hopes the open-source nature of the project will inspire unexpected uses, particularly in accessibility tools or niche appliances that mainstream manufacturers overlook. Frequently Asked Questions What is Muse and what does it do? Muse is Meta’s personal AI agent designed to assist users with tasks like booking travel, filling out online forms, and making purchases through voice or text commands. Is the Muse Gadgets project really free to use? Yes, Meta has released the Muse Gadgets framework as open-source software, meaning developers can access, modify, and distribute the code at no cost. Do I need a Meta account to use Muse-enabled devices? Yes, devices built with Muse Gadgets require a linked Meta account to authenticate and access the AI agent’s full functionality.
