AMA anytime (AMAA 😂). I always bookmark honest questions and work through them when off work. Just put in the list!
OK then...
It's a bit out place here but I've been getting some serious fomo on setting up Openclaw. I think most ideas I have are more creative and so I don't need to be paranoid on security/privacy. The main idea I keep obsessing over is setting up a bunch of bots trained on specific instruments. I want them to be able to play a track or come up with an idea. It might be too complex to start with but I'd be interested to hear if you have any tips for getting this up.
Also you mentioned in an earlier post that you have everything Openclaw can do already. It is a distraction? Or a good place to start?
Answering in re-arranged order.

It's a bad place to start for anyone that isn't an IT security / opsec UltraChad because it by default offers zero security against anything; i.e. you install it, you're open for anyone in the world to leech all your data that you yourself have access to (and even things you forgot or never knew you had access to).
If however you know within a few seconds without asking an LLM how you can improve upon my setup for claude code to make it less risky, because there simply are things missing in that comment that I forgot mentioning and things I learned since, then you may be that. Otherwise, you're going to be at-risk from the first time you run it.
Don't take my word for it, there's a nice article about this posted at #1437998
But:
- Anyone can get help from a friend that does know what they're doing (just make sure that they really know what they're doing) and reduce the risk significantly
- I have it on my list to check out nullclaw, but I think that because the concept/architecture itself is risky-by-design, it will be hard to have normal usage. However, that one may be doable with proper instructions - I will tag you when I find one that works.
That said,

I think that technically you don't need "a bunch", but just one that can interface with MIDI or a tracker (or both!). I haven't touched MIDI in at least a decade so I'm going to stick with a tracker and probably the most modern one right now is strudel.cc. It also has great docs that you can probably let an LLM run through.
Depending on what subscriptions you have in place, you may not need any claw stuff for this. Both GPT and Claude have co-working / rich interface modes, and you could probably even prompt a script from a text/coding chatbot if you really wanted and feed the output into a repl like strudel.
The real challenge for your project? Learning how successful humans compose and produce music and finding creative ways to automate the steps.
Consider doing an AMA. I got lots of questions
