MAKID bot

The MAKID bot is available from the desktop project table. Open the bot sidebar and ask a question about your music projects in plain language.

The bot can search MAKID’s product documentation when you ask how to use, configure, or troubleshoot the app.

The bot can use the workspace actions available in your version of MAKID. Each action appears in the conversation with its name, live status, and result. Read-only actions run automatically. Actions that change project data pause and show an approval card before anything is changed.

Press Shift+Tab while the bot sidebar is open to toggle auto-approval. When enabled, MAKID runs every available action without confirmation, including destructive actions, and displays a warning indicator above the conversation. Press Shift+Tab again to require individual approval. Auto-approval is off by default and persists between launches.

Project names mentioned by the bot include a contextual menu when MAKID can identify the project. Available options can focus the project in the table, play its bounce, open its Ableton Live session, or reveal it in Finder or File Explorer.

It can search and group projects by metadata, including notes, bounce health, last-opened time, and excluded tags or statuses. It can also recommend up to three projects to finish, update with a new bounce, or clean up. Each recommendation includes concrete reasons from your workspace.

For custom analytics, MAKID can run read-only queries across local project metadata to calculate counts, averages, groupings, and correlations. These queries run in a separate local process, accept only SELECT or WITH statements, cannot change the database, and return capped results.

Detailed project information includes on-device analysis of the primary bounce’s cached waveform, including its relative energy profile, dynamic contrast, quiet regions, and likely transition timestamps. This signal-derived analysis does not upload or listen to the audio, and MAKID does not use it to judge instrumentation, mood, frequency balance, or mix quality.

MAKID can search available tags, read project details and notes, show or focus matching rows, play bounces, open notes or Ableton sessions, update project metadata, create, rename, recolor, or delete tags across the workspace, add projects to an existing collection, and submit bug reports with recent desktop diagnostics.

When you clearly offer product feedback or request a feature, MAKID can send it directly to the team. Neutral capability questions and brainstorming are not submitted as feedback.

MAKID can use the bounce currently loaded in the audio player and the project most recently opened in Ableton Live to understand references such as “this bounce” or “the project I just opened.”

The empty bot includes guided starting actions for choosing something to finish, asking how MAKID chooses a project’s playback file, and discovering patterns among finished projects.

Commands

• /new starts a new conversation.
• /stop stops the current run. If a local action is already running, MAKID stops after that action finishes.
