April 15, 2026 Solo founder from Italy building an AI DAW controller - 120 waitlist signups, €0 ad spend

I'm Jacopo, solo founder building LIA from Italy. LIA connects to your DAW (Ableton Live) and lets you create beats, load instruments, adjust mix - all through natural language.

Type 'make me a techno beat at 128 BPM' and it creates the tracks, loads the instruments, writes the MIDI, sets the tempo. Everything inside your session, fully editable.

Where I'm at:

  • 120+ waitlist signups

  • 27 demo videos in 9 languages on YouTube

  • Zero ad spend, all organic

  • Bootstrapped, no funding

  • Beta launch in ~2 weeks

Stack: Astro frontend, Supabase backend, n8n automations, VPS

Pricing: Free tier + paid from €24.99/mo

Demo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n4OTFpEdJ3U

Happy to share learnings on going multi-language from day one and targeting non-US markets first. AMA.

I kept losing creative flow clicking through DAW menus. So I built LIA - type what you want, it happens inside your session.
