Muse Gadget Setup

Muse Gadgets (launched 2026-10-02) are devices you build that connect to Meta's Muse agent. Official code: https://github.com/facebookincubator/muse-gadget-sdk (Apache 2.0). Site: https://gadgets.muse.ai/

Facts here were checked against the repo at commit b9008ab (2026-10-02) and the pages linked. The repo changes fast: before giving commands, re-read README.md, esp32/README.md, esp32/AGENTS.md, esp32/devices/README.md and linux/README.md from the live repo and prefer them over this file if they differ.

Step 0. Parse the request

From "I have [hardware]. I want Muse to [thing].", extract:

1. Interaction wanted: control existing home devices, run things on a computer, talk to Muse with a button, see status or pictures, read sensors, take photos, hear spoken replies, something custom.
2. Hardware they own (exact model, chip, flash, PSRAM if known).
3. Constraints: country (Muse is US only at launch), Muse subscription (needed only for Home Link), OS of their computer (ESP32 build docs cover macOS and Linux only).

Rule: pick the interaction first, then the hardware that supports it. If their hardware cannot do the interaction, say so and name the cheapest supported board that can.
