On October 2, 2026, Meta opened Muse Gadgets: firmware and development kits for anyone who wants to connect the personal agent Muse to homemade hardware. Nat Friedman, head of product at Superintelligence Labs, described the project in a post on X, and the company published the Muse Gadgets code in the GitHub repository facebookincubator/muse-gadget-sdk.
The Muse Gadgets package has two kits. The ESP32 SDK targets cheap microcontroller boards, with a screen, audio, and sensors. The Linux SDK covers Raspberry Pi and other machines, including talking to Home Assistant or running admin commands. The repository says the code is open and “built by hackers, for hackers, just for fun,” with an explicit risk warning: bricked boards, voided warranties, or power loss. Coverage reports an Apache 2.0 license. Coverage also cites eight sample builds in the Muse Gadgets material, including a Raspberry Pi 5 tied to Home Assistant.
The batch of 5,000 Home Links
Beyond the Muse Gadgets kit, Meta built its own device, Muse Home Link. Friedman described it as a small USB-C-powered gadget that puts Muse on the home network so it can talk to TVs, speakers, and anything that exposes a local HTTPS interface. The company made 5,000 units and is giving them free to Muse subscribers while supplies last. Shipping, Friedman said, should start within a few weeks. The Home Link code is open as well.
To pair a gadget, a developer gets an SDK token, turns on developer mode in the Muse app on iOS or Android, and looks for devices prefixed MuseGadget under Settings and Devices. The docs point to gadgets.muse.ai for the token.
Why it matters
Muse already works as an agent that books travel, fills forms, and shops on a user’s behalf. Muse Gadgets moves it out of the app and onto a button, an e-ink display, an HDMI stick, or a network dongle. This is not a mass-product launch: Meta itself treats the repository as an experiment. The practical effect is different. Anyone who wants a peripheral for the agent does not have to wait for an official gadget beyond Home Link.
The announcement lands in the same period as Apple’s notice that it will tighten macOS Full Disk Access because of autonomous agents. They are separate moves: one opens hardware, the other restricts disk permission. Together they show the personal agent leaving the chat and running into the home, the local network, and the operating system.
