51. Rescue abandoned creative projects
📣 Real-user report — shared publicly by a Muse user, not independently verified.
The job: An independent music producer had a pile of old 2023 remix projects in Ableton that he couldn't open. When he moved computers, he hadn't used Ableton's "collect all and save," so many projects were missing their Splice drum samples. He pointed Muse at the mess: while he was at the gym, the agent logged into his Splice account and went folder by folder replacing the missing samples, until the projects could be reopened and rebounced. His verdict: it solved months of procrastination and anxiety.
I have old [Ableton/Logic/Premiere/etc.] projects that won't open because asset files are missing after I moved computers. Go through each project, identify every missing sample/asset, find replacements in my [Splice/sample library], and re-link them. Start with one project, show me it opens correctly, then continue through the rest.
What Muse will do:
- Point Muse at the folder of broken projects
- Let it identify what's missing in one project first
- Verify the fixed project opens correctly
- Let it grind through the remaining projects in the background
- Re-export anything you want to archive
Why it works: the perfect shape for an agent: an unbounded pile of identical, boring repair steps that no human will ever sit through — but a machine can grind through while you're at the gym. The playbook generalizes beyond music: any creative project with broken asset links (missing fonts, footage, samples) after a move or drive failure.
Common failures:
- This requires real access — your files and your Splice (or library) login. The replies debated that privacy tradeoff openly; grant only what the task needs and revoke access when it's done.
- The original post doesn't say how many projects there were or how long the full fix took — only that it happened while he was at the gym.
- Verify the first repaired project yourself before letting it run through the rest.
Prompt variations:
- Re-link missing fonts and footage in old design/video projects
- Consolidate scattered samples into one organized library
- Archive rebounced versions of every rescued project
