ChatGPT Web App

Use Producer Pal in your web browser with OpenAI's chat web app.

Requirements

• Ableton Live 12.2+ with Max for Live
• ChatGPT account (at the time of writing, a paid subscription is required to access the advanced settings needed for this to work)
• Web tunnel (e.g. Cloudflare or Pinggy)

Installation Steps

1. Install the Max for Live Device

Download Producer_Pal.amxd, the Producer Pal Max for Live device, and add it to a MIDI track in Ableton Live:

It should display "Producer Pal Running" or something isn't working.

2. Set Up a Web Tunnel

Set up a web tunnel to expose your local Producer Pal server.

For example:

cloudflared tunnel --url http://localhost:3350

will give you a public URL such as https://abc-xyz.trycloudflare.com:

3. Enable Developer Mode

Go to ChatGPT → Settings → Apps & Connectors → Advanced and enable Developer Mode (this option might not appear for free accounts):

4. Create Custom Connector

In the Apps & Connectors settings, create a custom connector:

• URL: Your tunnel URL + /mcp (e.g., https://abc-xyz.trycloudflare.com/mcp)
• No authentication
• Trust the app

5. Enable Tools in Conversation

Explicitly enable the Producer Pal tools for each conversation where you want to use them:

6. Start Using Producer Pal

Start a new chat with "connect to ableton with your producer pal tools" (note that ChatGPT tends to need more nudging than "connect to ableton"):
