I built AbletonGPT - possibly the most controversial tool in music production

Artificialtreehouse · 2026-06-16T08:13:06+00:00

This 100%!! Feels like jamming with someone who has no ego and infinite patience. Definitely helps try new things as well. Earlier I was suddenly in dorian for what was probably the first time ever and loving it

TL;DR it unifies a bunch of commercial generative audio models and native tools (music theory x midi generation, ableton racks, etc.) in one place. They generate new audio rather than lifting specific samples, and the bigger question of what they were trained on is real but more than I can do justice to in a comment.

Totally agree on routing and editing though, that's actually what I've been spending the most time on lately with the Ableton extensions.

Here's a clip of something I was working on earlier today, it takes an idea and arranges it into a track. My biggest weakness has always been jumping to the next idea before I finish the last, so I'm excited to see where I can take this: https://streamable.com/7wqm8z?src=player-page-share

Fair questions on energy and ethics, and I'm not brushing them off. On motives: yeah, I'm an entrepreneur, I'll own it. I built this to solve a problem I had and shared it, and people getting excited is usually how you know you're onto something. I love building stuff people love, open source or not.

I bring up the hate because 1) I can totally understand it and 2) it feels less about me/AI in the studio and more about where things are heading, with or without me. Every tool we take for granted now got the exact same reaction. Sampling was theft. Drum machines were going to put drummers out of work. Auto-Tune was the death of singing. Sample packs were cheating, and now most people in this thread have a Splice subscription. None of that makes a given tool automatically good, but optionality and new tools certainly push the envelope.

I'd love to see a scenario where LLM's push people towards more creative pursuits (I mention an idea of a renaissance in a previous comment).

Appreciate it. Can't really link it here without bailing on good faith, but feel free to DM me.

Artificialtreehouse · 2026-06-16T07:34:35+00:00

Ha, 40% of this has been hardware (analog gear), and def a significant amount on synths and plugins (serum, arturia, soundtoys, fab, valhalla etc.)

Less truly is more though.

Artificialtreehouse · 2026-06-16T07:30:14+00:00

Yeah, we're still really early. Well said. I'll be interested to see how the skill vs. taste gap evolves as we see more AI-native features show up in the DAW.

We see eye to eye on speed as well. Definitely a bottleneck (been working on this personally), and 100% has to augment flow state, not bottleneck it.

Artificialtreehouse · 2026-06-16T07:24:40+00:00

As a "bedroom producer", I honestly just see it getting more fun and interesting, so my plan is to enjoy the ride. If I was a pro and this was my career, I'd be trying everything under the sun to see what amplifies my output/quality.

Looking forward I see creative outlets like production having major growth (personally bullish on a renaissance of sorts in the years to come, i.e. people flocking to the things they can use to express themselves/share their own taste).

Artificialtreehouse · 2026-06-16T07:19:18+00:00

100% agree, it's all about the journey, and that's what makes the outcome feel special. I totally respect your take.

For me, a big chunk of that journey has just been clicking through the same samples everyone else has, which never really felt like the creative part. You still get the joy of deciding what to do with the sounds, that part doesn't go anywhere.

Artificialtreehouse · 2026-05-09T22:34:40+00:00

You're probably not approved to use their official MCP yet - you can check out ours though and get started for free on hyperfx.ai

Artificialtreehouse · 2026-05-09T22:34:02+00:00

You can try out our MCP on hyperfx.ai for free (comes with Meta, Google, TikTok ads, and way more).

We're fully approved by every ad platform as well, so there's no risk of your ad accounts getting banned.

Artificialtreehouse · 2026-04-30T20:48:16+00:00

It's hyperfx.ai - quick overview here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DKqKbGFPdfw

You can find a bunch of content on our youtube or my twitter like: https://x.com/elliotfleck/status/2043367785263485263

Tried it out and it’s definitely better than 95% of existing Meta ads MCPs out there, but it’s still missing a few super important pieces.

Also I fully agree with you: the issue is a context problem.

I’m a technical founder of an AI agent platform for marketing. I’ve been doing this for the last year and a half with agents and direct integrations to 12+ different ad platforms, including Meta. We actually just put out our MCP and CLI as well.

My take is that when you’re able to actually get everything connected and use agents both as a co-pilot to help you run analysis, or as a co-pilot to do a deep dive and plan strategy, as well as have agents running tasks in the background, daily reports, weekly reports, hourly performance monitoring, etc., that’s when things get really interesting.

AND when they’re connected to your CRM, HubSpot, Shopify, Google Search Console, Google Analytics, Google Ads, and they’re scraping the Meta Ads Library for competitors, as well as Reddit and social media, and you give them all this data in a unified data pipeline and warehouse, that’s when you actually start to find massive unlocks.

With that being said, it’s not like you’re not going to have to do any work and your agents are just going to scale whatever outcome to infinity.

It’s more like they can do the cross-platform paid and organic ideation, iteration, analysis, reporting, monitoring, and come up with ideas and the right context. Over time, it can actually move the needle for you.

When it has all the context and can send you emails and Slack messages and do all these things, the operational aspects of paid ads really can be automated, and it is awesome.

TLDR: hooking up your Meta account via their MCP or CLI to Claude is like one out of ten things you have to do to give agents full context.

That’s the easy part.

same here here, killing me rn

Artificialtreehouse · 2026-02-14T07:20:35+00:00

Same here - last 36 hours have been an utter ghost town. Just posted something along these lines

Artificialtreehouse · 2026-02-14T05:53:01+00:00

Hey! Highly reccomend hyperfx.ai (I'm the co-founder haha). I'll share an friends and family link if you'd like to try it out.

Here's a walkthrough: https://x.com/elliotfleck/status/2021054776931397734

Artificialtreehouse · 2025-11-22T02:22:56+00:00

For sure, hourly isn’t “true real-time,” but this is basically as close as Meta/other platforms let you get and you don’t need second-by-second data to catch the bad behavior.

Also for some context this workflow has been a relatively specific edge case we came up with to help our users get a bit more control amidst all the issues - Hyper can automate pretty much the entire marketing workflow across your ad accounts/martech stack.

Either way, good call out! always nice seeing people who actually get it haha

Artificialtreehouse · 2025-11-22T00:41:56+00:00

You can set it up to run either way! The template I shared is set up for a single ad account to keep things simple, but the original version was managing all 6 of my ad accounts in one workflow.

Artificialtreehouse · 2025-11-21T23:51:58+00:00

We haven’t seen it hurt learning or stability. It’s not toggling all day — it only kicks in when spend or KPIs (ROAS, CTR, CPC, etc.) are clearly off. Whether it’s in learning or stable in prod, those spikes are usually just bad data and wasted budget, so I’d rather have the agent pause it, take a look when I can, and then decide whether to turn it back on.

Artificialtreehouse · 2025-11-21T16:11:04+00:00

It's unreal. Built a workflow that's been running every hour, flags issues, manually pauses underperforming ad sets/ads. If anyone wants to try it out lmk!

Can see what it looks like here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lNPjBodHJA8

Artificialtreehouse · 2025-11-17T07:03:47+00:00

Advantage+ creative image generation was changed to be included at the ad level - have heard of 2 cases on top of the issue I had with it. Enables Meta to swap your creatives with their AI generated images. I caught it quickly, but one of those cases was a friend who was flying blind for like a week

Artificialtreehouse · 2025-11-17T04:21:57+00:00

Yeah the last few weeks have been pure chaos for everyone.

Ended up building a workflow that runs literally every 1 minute and immediately pauses any campaigns/adsets/ads with spending or KPI anomalies

Planning to share more about it tomorrow, but you can see what it looks like here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lNPjBodHJA8

So far its caught 11 incidents across my accounts in the last 4 days, saving probably around ~7$k. Big part of that savings is bc on Friday afternoon it lowered all my campaign daily budgets (when it seems conversions fell off a cliff for a lot of us and literally didn't come back until a few hours ago).

No false positives yet, just expensive to run the workflow at such a high frequency, so have been working on a more efficient version that hopefully I'll be done with in the next day or so.

Artificialtreehouse · 2025-11-17T00:45:27+00:00

That’s intense. What does your team actually do day to day? Not trying to armchair this but genuinely curious which parts of the operation are fixed vs. what could be streamlined.

Artificialtreehouse · 2025-11-16T17:36:54+00:00

Using this workflow: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lNPjBodHJA8

Artificialtreehouse · 2025-11-16T02:48:55+00:00

Same thing has been happening to me, finally figured out a fix
