Company profile
researched Aug 2026Audiotool operates a browser-based music production and social platform that lets users create, collaborate on, and share music without installing software. The product is a fully featured online digital audio workstation combined with community features, used by musicians, producers, developers, educators, and students. The platform is positioned as cross-device, running in web browsers and on tablets, with native mobile versions stated as forthcoming.
The current generation of the product, Audiotool 3.0, is a ground-up rebuild focused on real-time multiplayer music creation, which the company describes as offering the lowest latency of any online music tool. It introduces Audiotool NEXUS, an open-source SDK through which musicians and third-party developers can build instruments, effects, visualizers, music games, educational content, and hardware-connected apps directly into the platform. NEXUS is AI-enabled via MCP and Context I/O, allowing users to connect their preferred large language model to Audiotool, and includes low- and no-code development tooling.
Company contacts identified publicly include co-founder and CEO Andreas Jacobi, co-founder and producer Daniel Rowland, and COO and co-founder Mirta Gilson.
Business model
Audiotool distributes its digital audio workstation as a free, browser-accessible platform operating on a freemium basis, layering community and sharing features on top of the production tools and opening the platform to third-party tool developers through the NEXUS SDK.
Latest developments
In July 2026 Audiotool announced Audiotool 3.0, a ground-up rebuild of its browser-based DAW supporting real-time multiplayer creation on browsers and tablets, with native mobile versions stated as coming soon.

Hackathon series for NEXUS developers runs through August 2026, and the company announced a partnership with the Esports Nations Cup alongside its existing multiyear Esports World Cup partnership.

Market position
Audiotool describes itself as an early entrant in browser-based music production, having launched an online DAW in 2010, and positions Audiotool 3.0 as an open connective layer for music technology vendors, with launch partners including Splice, Ujam, BandM8, and Fraunhofer.
The company positions the platform against traditional DAWs that ship with a fixed set of tools and require collaborators to own matching software, plugins, and files. Audiotool emphasizes zero-install browser and tablet access on any device, real-time multiplayer sessions with low latency, and an open, extensible layer via the NEXUS SDK that lets creators and third-party vendors add their own instruments, effects, and AI-connected tools.
Technology
The platform is a browser-native digital audio workstation, previously delivered in Flash and later rebuilt in HTML5, and now rearchitected for low-latency real-time multiplayer sessions across browsers and tablets. Audiotool NEXUS is an open-source SDK for building instruments, effects, visualizers, games, educational content, and hardware-connected apps on the platform, and is AI-enabled through MCP and Context I/O so users can connect an external LLM. Reported web infrastructure and tooling include Java, jQuery, Underscore.js, core-js, Nginx, Hetzner hosting, PWA delivery, Google Sign-in, Google Workspace, Google Tag Manager, and Patreon for payments.
Go-to-market

It uses partnerships to reach audiences and extend the platform, including a multiyear partnership with the Esports World Cup and a partnership with the Esports Nations Cup, and invites established music technology companies to integrate via NEXUS. Developer engagement is driven through the Let's Build! Hackathon series of virtual and in-person events running through August 2026.
