Meta Opens Its Muse AI Agent to DIY Hardware, With a Free Home Link for US Subscribers
Meta is opening its Muse AI agent to DIY hardware and giving US subscribers a free Home Link, according to coverage aggregated by Google News. The same week, a 6abc Philadelphia segment said Muse can perform tasks but that privacy concerns remain as assistants gain deeper access to personal devices.
Meta is opening its Muse AI agent to DIY hardware, letting third-party and home-built devices tap into the assistant, and it is bundling a free Home Link for subscribers in the United States.
The shift surfaced in two reports aggregated by Google News. Tech My Money framed it as Muse Gadgets opening the AI agent to DIY hardware, with a free Home Link included for US subscribers.
Muse is positioned as an agent that performs tasks on a user's behalf rather than simply answering questions, in line with the broader industry push to move AI out of the chat window and into software that acts across apps and devices.
The same week, a 6abc Philadelphia segment, Action on AI, noted that Meta's Muse agent can carry out tasks but that privacy concerns remain. Those worries recur as assistants gain deeper access to personal data and connected devices.
Opening the agent to DIY hardware could widen the range of devices that can run Muse, from hobbyist builds to smart-home gear, while the free Home Link lowers the barrier for US subscribers.
Why it matters: agentic assistants are moving from chat boxes into the physical home, and how the privacy trade-offs are handled will shape how quickly people adopt them.
What to watch: how Meta governs data coming from third-party hardware, whether Home Link expands beyond the US, and how rival assistant makers respond.

Why it matters
Opening the agent to DIY hardware positions Meta's Muse as a general-purpose brain for home devices, but how it handles third-party data will decide how far that openness goes.
