Panel 1

*A cluttered workshop. Alex is hunched over a desk, surrounded by wires, circuits, and a soldering iron. Sam stands behind him, arms crossed, watching skeptically.*

Alex: With Meta's open-source code, we could make our very own Muse gadgets!

Panel 2

*A larger room filled with shelves of components, a 3D printer, and a soldering station. Alex is working on a circuit board, while Sam reads a manual, looking unimpressed.*

Sam: So, we're building a digital assistant to show us reminders... on an E Ink display?

Panel 3

*A cozy living room with a big-screen TV. Alex proudly shows off a small gadget connected to the TV, displaying a greeting message from the Muse AI. Robin, with a mischievous grin, interrupts.* Alex (Blushing and flustered, nodding eagerly.)

Robin: Nice work, Alex! Now you’re just going to explain to Meta why you made their AI display 'Don't Forget the Dishes!

Alex: Right, that’s the idea! It’s personal and helpful!
