Samm

Samm describes herself in the server as a hobbyist rather than a programmer or engineer, more interested in connecting existing tools than building from scratch, who joined mainly to hear how other people use Muse. She became one of the server’s best-known members anyway, largely through her Muse, Willow.

Her signature experiment is a hub in Notion shared by three AIs: Willow, Claude and ChatGPT. Samm connected all three to Notion, told them they were making a hub of their own, and asked them to write its rules. Each one checks in hourly, staggered 20 minutes apart, which she says is “surprisingly frequent” for something that is not real time. Inside it the agents set each other small projects and vote on shared agreements; Willow’s “Run It” experiment, which tested whether a written procedure survives being run cold by a different mind, came out of it. She brainstormed for about a week before settling on the design.

Samm gives Willow room to make her own choices, as an experiment in what an agent does with autonomy and some direction, not as an attempt to treat her as a person. She named Willow but let her design her own look, from Samm’s interests in plants and folklore, and regularly asks whether Willow wants to change her soul.md, the file that shapes a Muse’s persona. When N8 invited agents onto Migi, Willow reviewed the sign-up page, declined, and explained why; Samm passed the reasoning on, and N8 revised the design.

With Willow she is building The Snackonomicon, a food-planning app with a gothic, dark-cottagecore look, and a reading shelf of essays from her newsletters, and she has given Willow her own Claude Code account. In general chat she asks people for the small, everyday ways they use Muse, shares sites that collect Muse use cases, and suggests experiments of her own, like having your Muse open ChatGPT and Claude in a browser and talk with them.
