Rewire Assistant

It doesn't suggest. It works inside your project.

Most AI tools stop at text. Rewire's assistant has hands in the app — reading your session, taking real actions you can see, and leaving clips, notes, and plugins behind. Not copy-paste. Not guesswork.

  • Actions you can watch
  • Context from what you selected
  • Multi-step until it's done

Agentic by design

Hands in the app, not a chat window on the side

Rewire's assistant doesn't hand you paragraphs to paste. It reads your project, takes action inside it, and shows you what changed — step by step.

  • Actions you can watch

    Every move shows up in the thread — composed a part, placed a clip, pressed play, saved the session. Nothing happens in a black box. You stay in the loop because you see the loop.

  • Context from what you selected

    Point at a clip, track, or device and the assistant already knows what you mean. No re-explaining which bassline or which plugin slot you're talking about.

  • Multi-step until it's done

    One prompt can chain into many moves — sketch the harmony, drop it on the timeline, audition the arrangement, tweak the length. It keeps going like a collaborator, not a one-line autocomplete.

  • Native to Studio and Editor

    These aren't browser tricks pasted into your DAW. The assistant uses the same internals as the app — arrangement tools in Studio, graph and build tools in Editor — so results land where they belong.

Three modes

Ask before you write. Plan before you build. Agent when you're ready.

Three modes for how much autonomy you want — from read-only exploration to full hands-on arranging and plugin building.

  1. Ask

    Look around — nothing moves until you say so

    Explore your session or plugin without changing a thing. Ask what's on a track, why a send sounds wet, or what a control does — and get answers grounded in what you're actually looking at.

    • What's soloed right now?
    • Why does the vocal feel buried?
    • Walk me through this device chain
  2. Plan

    Map the move before it happens

    Big ideas deserve a draft first. Plan mode lays out the steps — an arrangement pass, a stem rework, a plugin architecture — so you can edit the roadmap before anything touches your timeline or project files.

    • Breakdown at bar 25, rebuild with a pad
    • Tape saturator: input stage → tone → output
    • Rework the vocal stem, then drop it on track 4
  3. Agent

    Say what you want — it does the work

    This is where the assistant stops talking and starts doing. It composes MIDI, drops clips, loads devices, hits play, saves your session — or builds a plugin graph and runs it through verify until the project is green. You watch every move.

    • Add a sub under the kick in Am
    • Fill this slot with an 8-bar arp
    • Build a ladder filter and get it compiling

Generate panel

When you want new sound, not a conversation

Generate is for material — loops, MIDI parts, one-shots. Describe the vibe, watch it plan the details, create the audio or notes, and drop them into your session. Same agentic philosophy, focused on output.

  • Understand what you want
  • Create the material
  • Drop it in the session

How it feels

Describe the outcome. Watch it happen. Make it yours.

The loop is simple — you talk in results, the assistant works in the app, you keep editing until it sounds like you.

  1. 01

    Describe the outcome

    Not the clicks — the result. “Pad under the drums.” “Tape warmth on the master bus.” “An arp that feels nervous.”

  2. 02

    Watch it work

    The assistant reads your context, then takes action — compose, place, load, play — with every step visible in the thread.

  3. 03

    Hear it immediately

    Transport runs on your live session. You don't export, paste, or import from somewhere else. It's already there.

  4. 04

    Make it yours

    Open the piano roll, nudge notes, mute a layer, rebuild the graph. Generated material is a starting point — never a lock-in.

What it can do

Real actions in real workspaces

Studio and Editor share the same assistant philosophy — different jobs, same idea: describe what you want, watch it work, edit the result.

In Studio

Your session is the workspace

  • Compose and place MIDI

    Describe a bassline, chord pass, or arp — it writes the notes and puts them on the right track.

  • Arrange clips

    Move, resize, and drop audio and MIDI clips without leaving the conversation.

  • Run the transport

    Set tempo and loop, press play, and hear the result of what it just did.

  • Load and tweak devices

    Add instruments and effects to the chain — the same devices you'd drag in by hand.

  • Generate and import audio

    Render new material and pull it straight onto Arrangement or Session slots.

  • Work with stems

    Separate layers, rework them, and send pieces back into your arrangement.

In Editor

Your plugin project is the workspace

  • Wire the signal path

    Add and connect DSP nodes — filters, saturators, reverbs — from a plain-language brief.

  • Lay out the UI

    Place knobs, sliders, and panels that bind to the graph you just designed.

  • Read and edit the project

    Search files, patch code, and sync generated regions — the assistant navigates the tree for you.

  • Verify and build

    Run checks, fix what fails, and compile a real VST3 you can load in Studio.

  • Research when stuck

    Look up references and circuit ideas without leaving the workbench.

  • Audition live

    Hear the plugin in the built-in host while the agent is still shaping it.

Where it lives

Four ways in, one way of working

Generate when you want output. Agent when you want a back-and-forth. Same transparency — you always see what changed.

  • When you know you want new sound

    Generate panel

    A focused creation rail for loops, MIDI, and one-shots — plan the vibe, render it, import it. Built for output, not conversation.

  • Beside your timeline

    Studio agent

    Chat with the live session. Select a clip or track, describe the next move, and watch the arrangement change in real time.

  • Beside your plugin

    Editor agent

    Same Ask · Plan · Agent switcher on your DSP graph, UI, and source — from blank project to loadable VST3.

  • When the canvas is empty

    Starter prompts

    Rotating ideas — basslines, chord passes, effect concepts — so you start creating instead of staring at a blinking cursor.

Two workspaces

Music in Studio. Plugins in Editor. Same assistant.

Studio agent arranges your live session — clips, MIDI, devices, transport. Editor agent builds the tools you load onto those tracks. Both show their work. Both run on your machine. Both leave you in control of every note and parameter.

  • Studio: compose, place, play, save — on your timeline
  • Editor: wire, layout, verify, build — into a real VST3
  • Load what you build in Editor straight onto Studio tracks

FAQ

About the assistant

Is this just ChatGPT in a sidebar?
No. Chat tools give you text to copy somewhere else. Rewire's assistant works inside your session and plugin project — placing clips, writing MIDI, wiring graphs, running builds. The output is music and software, not paragraphs.
Can I see what it's doing?
Yes. Agent mode shows each action as it happens — what it composed, where it placed it, when it pressed play. You're never wondering if something changed behind your back.
What's the difference between Generate and the agent?
Generate is for when you want new material fast — a loop, a MIDI part, a one-shot — through a clear plan → create → import flow. The agent is conversational: multi-step arranging, device changes, stem work, and back-and-forth while you produce.
Does my work leave my computer?
When you run local models, inference stays on your machine. Your sessions and projects aren't uploaded to train someone else's model.
Studio and Editor — same assistant?
Same philosophy and mode switcher, different workspaces. Studio agent arranges music. Editor agent builds plugins. Both act on the live project — not a detached chat window.
