The social media giant itself has provided many ideas and detailed instructions for putting together devices that support Spark AI models. One of the options is a gadget on the ESP32-S3 platform, equipped with an AMOLED display of about 1.75 inches – an analogue of the Muse Charm. Another idea is an HDMI stick on which you can install apps and control your TV.

Other form factors are not excluded. There is a device like a remote control and there is a device like a mini tablet with a color e-ink display. Yuan✴ There’s even been a release of the Muse Home Link gadget itself – a disk-shaped USB drive that lets you control a host of smart home devices. The company has announced production of 5,000 Home Link units, which will be released in the coming weeks.

New Muse subscribers have the opportunity to get them for free. Simply connect Home Link to your home Wi-Fi network, and the Muse AI agent can understand spoken language and take on a variety of tasks: send documents for printing, control lighting, turn on the TV, and perform many other actions. But it’s not for everyone, Meta warns✴: Use caution when connecting an artificial intelligence agent to your home network and allowing it to access your smart home and other devices.

“It was built by hackers for hackers – just to have fun. Side effects of the experiment can manifest as board ‘bricking’, voided warranty, voltage dips and even bankruptcy. Proceed at your own risk.”– the company reported. But the community can no longer be stopped. Enthusiast Federico Viticci turned his Xteink ESP-powered e-reader into a pocket-sized smart display running Muse.
