Play a duet with a computer, through Google's machine learning

Technology can inspire people to be creative in new ways. Magenta, an open-source project Google launched last year, aims to do that by giving developers tools to explore music using neural networks.

To help show what’s possible with Magenta, Google recently created an interactive experiment called A.I. Duet, which lets users play a duet with the computer.

Just play some notes, and the computer will respond to your melody. You don’t even have to know how to play piano—it’s fun to just press some keys and listen to what comes back. We hope it inspires you—whether you’re a developer or musician, or just curious—to imagine how technology can help creative ideas come to life.
