Using AI with the LP Manual
Has anybody tried uploading the Loopy Pro 2 manual into AI to accelerate learning Loopy, facilitate custom project designs, and assist trouble shooting Loopy?
I’ve done this with manuals for other advanced software, and it works well. I uploaded the 900-page manual for the writers’ platform Scrivener into Claude Pro, and now I can ask Claude very specific questions—how do I set up these tags, how do I search for this formatting, etc.—and get a specific answer. I minimize errors by telling Claude to base answers only on the manual, to cite pages, and to ask me questions first.
I haven’t tried it yet with the LP manual because I wanted to ask first if anybody else has already done it. Perhaps this could be put up as a community resource somehow. I’m only speculating that this can be made to work because I’m not a programmer or an AI expert. But I’ve found it to be a valuable, time-saving writer’s assistant, and hope that it can do the same for my music projects.
I did search here and, besides discussions of AI generative music, I only found this thread from April about uploading manuals:

Yes use Notebook LM. Also add loopypro tutorial videos from YouTube.
And the wiki. The wiki has at least as much important content as the manual. You will want to refresh periodically as the manual is frequently getting new material.
I made a Gemini gem with the LP manual and the manuals of some of my hardware gear and it works wonderfully! I recommend doing it!
I wish you could “like” posts in these forums. Gemini Gems work so much better than OpenAI CustomGPTs.
I use Notebook LM too. I really enjoy the feature that generates a podcast from your manual.
Could you guys please offer a little more info on Gemini Gem and Notebook LM, and why you say they are the way to go to achieve my AI-assisted manual idea? I’m not familiar with either. I’ve been using Claude for writing, that’s it.
Do any of these new AI platforms facilitate the creation of a community tool? I’m envisioning one destination AI that we Forum people set up to be a specialist in LP2 and related music apps. AUM, for example. And the more common synths, etc.

Gemini Gems are sort of personalized Gemini instances with custom instructions and files uploaded. This way, you don't need to reupload the files and give new instructions with each new chat.
They work well with some manuals, less with others. For example, with LP it's really great. With Drambo, it's hit or miss.
Ai are trained for different task. Claude is a generalist content creation AI. Notebook as been trained to be a research assistant. It’s made to be feed PDF.
Ingesting any very complex subject matter and then acting as a personal assistant to help one learn is a very smart way to use these systems.
Thank you for your comments. I’ll give Gemini Gem and Notebook a test run as a LP2 assistant. And I’ll be looking to see if these are better tools for my writing (big non-fiction book). I’ll report back in this thread.
Don’t forget to generate a podcast from your manual in Notebook. They are lots of fun. You can eve specify target of the podcast even if that’s a little less obvious.
My dad, (who has gotten on in years) is using various AI solutions to organize his thoughts and it is a real productivity helper for him. I keep encouraging him to author his life story and it looks like he's finally getting serious about it. Everyone should write down their life story. What could be more interesting?
All the good bits would need to be redacted from mine.
Than mine? Watching paint dry.
Biography of @wim titled “Live, Laugh, Loopy”
Funny, me too, because it’s not necessarily the first use case you would think of with notebook LM. But they do a pretty good job of having a conversation about whatever your custom prompt is, spurring your imagination to get to work in the app.
Gemini just added updates for notebook lm to integrate directly with it in the chatbox as well as updating gems to be AI Apps themselves. The gems, notebook LM, and deep research can all shake hands plus the new visual charts Gemini really enhances the output. Not to mention Gemini can scrub 3 hour videos in minutes and give you the useful information. NOTE: the killer feature of multimodal Gemini on the computer is Gemini can see your screen and tutor you on any app.
