Show HN: Live AI music sequencing agent
Pretzel is an experimental live AI music agent that lets everyone chat with the same AI and hear synchronized music in real time. Built during Google IO hackathon, it uses a Rust agent harness called Talon for easy self-hosting.

Key points
- Pretzel is a web-synchronized music sequencer controlled by an AI agent.
- All users interact with the same AI agent and hear the same music simultaneously.
- Built on Talon, a Rust agent harness that runs on a micro VM with ~100MB RAM.
- It's a proof-of-concept for a live DJ agent that responds to user feelings.
Why it matters
This matters because pretzel is a web-synchronized music sequencer controlled by an AI agent.
Technical impact
May affect agent architecture, tool calling, workflow automation, and product integration.
Pretzel is an experiment in live AI agents for music. It's a web synchronized music sequencer that is controlled by an AI agent. Everyone chats with the same AI agent and hears the same music at any time. I'm no audio engineer so it's a pretty basic tune, and turns out audio is a pretty complex 3d function.
I went to Google's IO hackathon yesterday without any idea of what I was going to work on. I thought of building a live DJ agent that people can tell what they feel and it would update the music live. This is like 50% of the way that vision.
I've been building a Rust agent harness called [Talon](https://github.com/impalasys/talon) that is easy to self host on a micro VM (~100mb RAM). Pretzel connects everyone to the same session in a Talon hosted DJ agent.
I'm curious what y'all think.
