Show HN: Ismail, a DAW that AI agents operate through text
Listen to songs an agent made with it, each shown with the text the agent read while making it. Not a music generator ismail is not a model that turns a prompt into audio, like Suno. It is a set of tools your own agent uses to write the song as notes, sounds and code, render it, read back what came out, and edit it.
