Astra Transcribes a Piano Part From YouTube, Then Builds a Playable App

Dan Shipper shows off a striking workflow: astra transcribed the piano part of Lizzie McAlpine's "Staying" from a YouTube video, then built it into a small app that lets him play through the song himself.
One prompt chain delivered ear-transcription, song structure, and an interactive practice app — a neat demo of coding agents applied to music learning.
