Chiron

Product Introduction

1. Definition: Chiron is a VST/AU plugin (DAW-integrated software) functioning as an AI production mentor. It operates within digital audio workstations (DAWs) like Ableton Live, Logic Pro, and FL Studio.
2. Core Value Proposition: Chiron eliminates guesswork in music production by delivering precise, documentation-based answers for DAWs, plugins (e.g., Serum, Omnisphere), hardware, and music theory—directly inside the user’s workflow.

Main Features

1. Documentation-Driven Knowledge Graph:
   Chiron ingests official manuals, DAW guides, and music theory resources into a structured knowledge graph. When queried (e.g., "How to automate filter cutoff in Ableton"), it cross-references verified sources—not generative AI hallucinations. This ensures DAW-specific accuracy for workflows in Logic Pro, Cubase, or FL Studio.

2. Setup-Aware Tailoring:
   The plugin auto-detects installed plugins (Arturia, Kontakt), connected hardware (e.g., MIDI controllers), and the host DAW. Answers dynamically adapt to the user’s exact environment—providing hardware-specific shortcuts or plugin parameter instructions.

3. Multimodal Input/Output:
   Supports typed or spoken queries in 100+ languages (e.g., Spanish, Korean, Yoruba) via integrated voice input. Responses include animated signal flow diagrams, piano roll visualizations, and localized terminology—enabling hands-free, multilingual sound design guidance.

Problems Solved

1. Pain Point: Producers waste hours tab-switching between DAWs, PDF manuals (e.g., Omnisphere’s 1,300-page guide), and forums—disrupting creative flow and causing workflow fragmentation.
2. Target Audience: Music producers, sound designers, and audio engineers using complex plugin ecosystems (e.g., FabFilter, Native Instruments) who need instant technical guidance without interrupting sessions.
3. Use Cases:
   • Designing bass patches in Serum using correct wavetable modulation.
   • Configuring sidechain compression in a user’s specific DAW (Ableton vs. Logic Pro).
   • Generating chord progressions in-scale with a project’s key while referencing music theory.

Unique Advantages

1. Differentiation: Unlike ChatGPT or generic AI tools, Chiron avoids hallucinations by sourcing answers exclusively from official documentation—contrasting with competitors’ probabilistic guesses.
2. Key Innovation: Its knowledge graph architecture synthesizes fragmented resources (plugin manuals, DAW specs, hardware guides) into a unified, queryable system—enabling context-aware solutions for niche issues like "Valhalla Reverb preset matching."

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

1. Does Chiron work offline?
   Chiron requires internet access to query its cloud-based knowledge graph but processes audio locally without project file access.

2. How quickly are new plugins added?
   Unsupported plugins (e.g., niche Eurorack VSTs) are integrated within 48 hours if official documentation exists—users submit requests via the portal.

3. Is Chiron compatible with Windows DAWs?
   Currently macOS-only during beta, with Windows support planned post-launch. It supports AU/VST3 hosts like Reaper, Bitwig, and Studio One.

4. What happens after the 14-day trial?
   Beta users retain access during the testing phase; post-launch subscription models will apply for ongoing updates and plugin expansions.
