Meta has open sourced code and SDKs for Muse, its AI agent, allowing developers and hobbyists to run Muse on devices like Raspberry Pi, ESP32-based boards, E Ink displays, HDMI sticks or small touchscreens. Meta is also producing 5,000 Muse Home Link units with a waitlist and warns builders to "proceed at your own risk."
Meta says a journalist’s report that its AI agent Muse read a user’s private Messages without permission is incorrect, stating the Messages integration on Mac is fully opt-in and requires explicit Full Disk Access and a Messages connector. The reporter said Full Disk Access was off and Muse suggested it was syncing device notifications; Meta executives including Andy Stone and David Singleton have pushed back and pointed to macOS permission flows and Muse’s security documentation, while other users have reported separate Muse incidents.
Meta has rolled out its Muse personal AI agent and announced related initiatives including a Muse Charm device and a Meta Enterprise Platform led by CJ Desai, plus expanded app integrations and business account access. Separately, a tech YouTuber, Matt Robb, reported that Muse allegedly shared his home address and accepted a lowball offer while managing his Facebook Marketplace listing.
Meta briefly showed a dedicated hardware device called the Muse Charm for its Muse AI agent during Meta Connect. The chunky, watch-like gadget (with a fingerprint sensor, a camera and multiple microphones) reportedly doesn’t require a phone to use; Meta says it has “only built a few” so far and plans to ship the Charm “in time for the holidays in December.”
The Verge is live-blogging Meta’s Connect 2026 keynote in Menlo Park, where Mark Zuckerberg is expected to discuss Meta’s Muse AI agent, smart glasses hardware, and related privacy updates; Meta faces ongoing privacy and harassment concerns around the glasses’ built-in camera. The event may include further product and privacy announcements but coverage so far is focused on those themes.
