Modulate

Modulate brings what AI did for software to hardware. It’s a modular device that dynamically programs itself by talking to it or texting Muse. Plug in parts like rotary encoders, buttons, joysticks, motion sensors, etc, then tell it (or text Muse) what it should become. Meta’s Muse Spark looks at the connected hardware, then writes, tests and launches the software. The same device becomes a game, a computer controller, a speaker or a camera mirror. When you swap a part, it rewrites itself around what is now connected. It’s also really cheap, as we built around 150 apps and hardware configurations for $8 in API credits. In the real world, billions of people who don’t have experience with hardware can still explore and create their own devices. Someone with limited hand mobility can connect a gesture sensor reading head tilt to fully control their computer. Someone with impaired vision can connect vibration motors and a speaker to make and play a game without needing to see the screen. A gardener can use that same device to connect a moisture sensor to a pump and simply say, “Water the plants when the soil is dry.” Modulate pushes the robotics and hardware frontier by giving machines new capabilities on demand. A researcher can accelerate an experiment by describing a rig, like "log the temperature and stir every ten minutes". Product and accessibility teams can reshape a working prototype in the middle of a user interview. And because Modulate also runs on Meta’s open-weight models, people can understand and control their physical systems privately, right on the device.
