Building AI tools that enhance human creativity

I'm building OBSIDIAN-Neural - a VST3 plugin that lets you jam with AI in real-time. Type "dark techno kick" and get a loop instantly. No stopping your creative flow, no replacing human musicians.

My approach to AI

Most popular AI music tools like Suno and Udio focus on complete song generation - you input a prompt and wait for a finished track. Tools like Boomy guide you through structured songwriting, while AIVA composes complete classical pieces.

My approach is different: real-time collaboration for live performance. OBSIDIAN-Neural generates musical elements instantly while you're jamming - type "dark techno kick" mid-performance and get a loop immediately. No waiting, no stopping your creative flow.

It's designed for live improvisation where AI becomes your jam partner, not your replacement. Whether you're performing live, jamming with friends, or exploring musical ideas, the AI responds to your creative direction in real-time.
