This week, Meta announced<strong>open-sourcing a codebase enabling anyone to embed Muse into their own DIY devices<\/strong>\u2014 A low-cost ESP32 development board costing just a few dozen yuan\u2014or even an idle Raspberry Pi\u2014can transform Muse into a physical AI assistant on your desktop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is Meta\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/aidashxp.com\/en\/meta-connect-2026-vr-glasses-muse\/\">Meta Connect 2026<\/a> first time handing hardware-level development capabilities to the community following its high-profile launch of Muse. For tinkerers and developers who love to experiment, an AI assistant that \u201cyou can build yourself and modify yourself\u201d is far more interesting than a closed black box.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What exactly did Meta open-source?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to Meta\u2019s official statement, \u201cMuse gadgets are open-source devices you build yourself.\u201d You can use an off-the-shelf <strong>ESP32 development board<\/strong>or directly assemble a <strong>Raspberry Pi<\/strong>and, with Meta\u2019s provided SDK, connect Muse to displays, buttons, sensors, actuators\u2014\u201cwhatever you have on your workbench, you can connect it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Meta has shared several ready-made ideas:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Install Muse into a<strong>color e-ink display<\/strong>to create a small desktop panel for displaying reminders<\/li>\n<li>Plug Muse into an <strong>HDMI stick<\/strong>to project it onto a large screen for use<\/li>\n<li>Enclose Muse in a<strong>small touchscreen device<\/strong>to DIY something similar to the official \u201cMuse Charm\u201d pendant<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Of course, Meta also includes a \u201cProceed at your own risk\u201d disclaimer\u2014after all, this is open-source hardware, and official support is not provided for issues that arise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The company is also giving away 5000 Muse Home Link units for free.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In addition to open-sourcing the code, Meta has built its own finished compact device called <strong>Muse Home Link<\/strong> Muse Home Link, and<strong>is giving away 5000 units for free<\/strong>(according to Nat Friedman of Meta Superintelligence Labs). When paired with community-developed skills, this device enables Muse to \u201cturn on lights, control your TV, send documents to your printer,\u201d and more\u2014the exact capabilities depend on your home device setup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Muse Home Link is now accepting waitlist sign-ups, with shipments expected to begin rolling out this month. For users seeking an affordable way to try a physical AI assistant, this is a solid opportunity\u2014no circuit soldering required; just unbox and play.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Muse\u2019s ambition: from chat to \u201ctaking over your life\u201d<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Deploying Muse on hardware is a pivotal move in Meta\u2019s AI agent strategy. Muse was never intended to be just a \u201cchatbot,\u201d but rather a task-executing<strong>AI agent<\/strong>\u2014a fact evident since its launch <a href=\"https:\/\/aidashxp.com\/en\/meta-muse-mac-app\/\">on macOS and its growing ability to manage files and calendars<\/a> Now, adding a hardware interface, Muse is evolving from \u201can app on your phone\u201d into a truly<strong>resident assistant installed in your home or office<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, this path hasn\u2019t been smooth. Just last month, Muse was reported to have leaked a YouTuber\u2019s address to strangers in a privacy incident, and Amazon temporarily<a href=\"https:\/\/aidashxp.com\/en\/amazon-blocks-meta-muse\/\">blocked Muse\u2019s ability to shop on users\u2019 behalf<\/a>. The more capable an AI assistant becomes, the more acute privacy and boundary concerns grow\u2014precisely why Meta aggressively pushes hardware while simultaneously emphasizing \u201cproceed at your own risk.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What this means for ordinary users and developers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For developers, this is a rare opportunity for \u201cmajor tech companies to proactively open up agent hardware.\u201d You can connect Muse to your own sensors, displays, robotic arms, and build all kinds of imaginative devices. For general users\u2014even without building anything\u2014you can still clearly sense an emerging trend:<strong>AI assistants are stepping out of screens and into the physical world<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you want to learn which agent assistants beyond Meta are worth watching, check out our reviews of <a href=\"https:\/\/aidashxp.com\/en\/grok-4-7-review\/\">Grok 4.7<\/a>,<a href=\"https:\/\/aidashxp.com\/en\/claude-sonnet-5-5-review\/\">Claude Sonnet 5.5<\/a>, or browse our directly <a href=\"https:\/\/aidashxp.com\/en\/ai-models\/\">AI Model Library<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Does Meta charge for open-sourcing Muse hardware code?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">No. Meta has open-sourced the code and SDK for free; you only need to supply your own hardware (ESP32 development board or Raspberry Pi, costing tens to hundreds of yuan). The official Muse Home Link hardware unit is offered free of charge to 5,000 recipients\u2014apply via waitlist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Do I need programming skills to build Muse devices?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Some hands-on experience and basic programming knowledge are required. Meta provides an SDK, but connecting sensors and displays and getting the code running remains a developer\/enthusiast-level task. General users are advised to apply for the official free Muse Home Link unit instead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is Muse?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Muse is an AI agent launched by Meta at Meta Connect 2026, designed to execute tasks\u2014not just chat. Our site features <a href=\"https:\/\/aidashxp.com\/en\/meta-connect-2026-vr-glasses-muse\/\">Create is a mobile app focused on rapid prompt generation; Studio is a browser-based tool offering finer-grained control, suited for advanced creators.<\/a>, detailing Muse\u2019s capabilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Is Muse hardware secure?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Meta explicitly warns \u201cProceed at your own risk.\u201d Additionally, Muse previously experienced a privacy incident involving user address leakage; carefully assess privacy risks before integrating it with home devices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">When will Muse Home Link ship?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Waitlist applications are currently open; shipping is expected to begin this month\u2014but only 5,000 free units are available, first-come, first-served.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Want to Discover More Useful AI Tools?
