What it does
Chiron is an AI production mentor that lives inside your DAW as a VST/AU plugin. Unlike generic AI chatbots, Chiron has ingested hundreds of plugin manuals, DAW documentation, and music theory resources into a knowledge graph — so when you ask how to design a sound in Pigments or create sidechain compression, it gives you answers from the actual documentation, not hallucinated guesses. Built by a producer who got tired of tab-switching between manuals. Currently in beta for both Mac and Windows.
A music-production mentor that runs entirely on your machine. Local LLM, audio analysis, no cloud. V2 in development — join the waitlist.

Hi Hacker News, This is definitely out of my comfort zone. I just wanted to show you guys because I'm super proud of it. It's a 100% faithful recreation based off of the schematics, patents, and ROMs that were found online. So please watch the video and tell me what you think https://youtu.be/auOlZXI1VxA The reason why I think this is relevant is because I've been a programmer for 25 years and AI scares the shit out of me. I'm not a programmer anymore. I'm something else now. I don't know what it is but it's multi-disciplinary, and it doesn't involve writing code myself--for…

Hello my name is Ben Ward for the past 3 years I have been remastering the financial game Wall Street Raider created by Michael Jenkins originally on DOS in 1986. It has been a rough journey but I finally see the light at the end of the tunnel. I just recently redid the website and thought maybe the full story of how this project came to be would interest you all. Thank you for reading.
