Amanuensis — Demo video

Amanuensis is a music notation editor you talk to. You say what you want, sing or play the melody, or show it a page of sheet music, and an agent writes it into a real, editable score. I play music as a hobby. I can sing a tune, explain it in words or play it on guitar, but I can't write it down, and my bandmates need written parts to rehearse. A lot of musicians are in the same place. About half of electric guitarists, bassists and drummers taught themselves to play (YouGov, 2022), and many play by ear. They can play the song, but putting it on paper means working out every note and typing it into a notation editor by hand, or paying someone to do it. With Amanuensis you just press Record and talk to it the way you'd talk to a bandmate. Say "this is the verse, in G, about 100 BPM", then sing it on "da da da" or play it on your guitar, one note at a time. It works out the notes and the tempo and writes the bars. If you already have the music on paper, take a photo of the page and it copies it into your score. Changes are a sentence away, like "make the drums half-time in the last four bars", and any note can still be fixed by hand. Band Mode gives each instrument its own AI musician with its own role, and they talk to each other in musical terms while they write their parts. If you can sing it, play it or say it, you can hand your band the parts.
