Kelvin (my Muse) is awesome — but wow did I hit limitations I did not see coming today. So here’s the setup: I make AI music with Suno (I know, boo hiss, put down the torches and broomsticks). And because I’m me, I decided to see how far I could push automation with my Muse, Kelvin — who absolutely looks like a Kelvin, don’t argue with me. Today’s idea: What if I hand Kelvin the details for each song or album, and he automatically uploads everything to four AI‑friendly music sites — Upchart, Loudman, Zinstrel, and Appland? Turns out… the universe had other plans. Blocker #1 — File‑system reality check Kelvin can take my WAV files and album art, store them, and prep them. But two of these sites require uploads directly from a human‑accessible file system. Translation: Kelvin can’t “click the upload button” the way a human can. So… automation roadblock Blocker #2 — Legal landmines One site’s Terms of Service straight‑up forbid automation. No ads, no human attention economy, no reason for the rule… but the rule exists. Kelvin politely backed away like, “Sir, I will not be committing a crime today.” Blocker #3 — The site was… bad One platform looked fine on the surface, but once Kelvin started poking around, it was clear the quality was not there. Not worth the time, not worth the automation, not worth Kelvin’s digital sanity. In the end? Still fun. Still worth exploring. Still hilarious watching Kelvin try to navigate the wild west of AI music platforms. Would I have been better off using something like Grokbots or Dots? Maybe. Maybe not. The whole space is still a moving target, and half the fun is seeing what breaks. Hermes? OpenHuman?

Here's my thoughts on how to choose. I'm on Muse for the time being, but I know quite a few of you love those Grok Bots too. For me, it's really hard to beat free As with everything, pick the tool that works for you best

I explain Meta Muse privacy settings, and what I changed to opt out of AI model training and keep my personal data safe. I like to make Muse ask before using connectors or visiting websites. My sure you understand where to put passwords and credit card information, because using it in a chat exposes you to being hacked I've been building personal apps in Muse, and I love what it can do, but I wanted to help everyone understand where their chats, files, saved memories, and connected account data goes. Meta has a history of giving away or selling our data, and its important for everyone to understand what they're collecting and how you can control what they take. I will show you the exact settings I have changed and why, and give you a framework for continuing to monitor what data Meta Muse is collecting, and what it's sharing with the apps that you connect to it. I turned off the option to use my data to train their AI models, and you should do this in Claude and ChatGPT and Grok as well. Web access also raises a MASSIVE security concern because every single website that your AI Agent visits is a potential prompt injection that could take control of your computer or phone and leak your private data and financial information.

Very disappointing to see another model released that we can't touch. Doubt we will ever get to use this with the way things are going. https://vibecodeguild.substack.com/p/intelligence-for-the-elites-only?r=706kcp

Curious to hear everyone’s experience with them
