## Best practices
- Think FUNCTIONAL, not artistic (it's not Suno)

- Don't expect editable stems on lower tiers

## Anti-patterns
- Don't use for vocal song writing
- Don't expect Suno-level "song" output
- Don't compare to artistic AI music tools — different goal
- Don't use for art project — it's a content/utility tool
- Don't ignore the API for app/game development
