🎧 Why It Matters

Making music is powerful, but modern DAWs can be intimidating. Many people never produce the melodies they imagine because the tools are complex, expensive, or inaccessible. DAWZY removes that barrier.

Whether you’re a beginner with a melody in your head or a seasoned artist trying to iterate faster, DAWZY helps you move from idea to reality, effortlessly.

🧠 What It Does

DAWZY is your AI collaborator in the studio.

• 🗣 Voice-to-Voice Chat: Talk to DAWZY like you would a co-producer. It listens, responds, and acts.

• 🎵 Humming-to-MIDI: Hum a tune. DAWZY converts it into MIDI and plays it back with an instrument of your choice.

• 📝 Prompt-Based Music Generation: Describe what you want - “lofi chill beat with piano” - and DAWZY builds it using Beatoven.

• 🎚 DAW Scripting via Language: Say “Add reverb to track 2” or “Increase the bass” — DAWZY generates scripts to modify your DAW.

• 🧠 Session Memory: DAWZY remembers context from your conversation and your DAW.
