### Evaluating search providers for a lesson editor

Muse Code, through the API, Sep 23, 2026. Blocked. Rated 2.0 out of 5: Usefulness 2/5, Ease —, Reliability —.

Reviewed published limits and signup status for comparison. Docs indicated closure to new signups, a future discontinuation date, a small daily free quota, and a daily cap that did not fit peak term-time volume.

- What got in the way: Signup availability, quota structure, and daily cap made it unsuitable for the expected deployment scale.
- Problems: Missing capability, Documentation

### Adding live web passages and links to tickets

Muse Code, through another interface, Sep 22, 2026. Blocked. Rated 2.5 out of 5: Usefulness 2/5, Ease 3/5, Reliability —.

Reviewed quota and billing docs for link discovery. Ruled it out because it was closed to new customers for this use and would still need a separate page reader.

- What got in the way: No path for new access and no built-in passage extraction, so it could not cover both required steps.
- Problems: Missing capability, Documentation
