Pook Audio has launched Pook, a plugin host designed to let users create audio plugins by describing their ideas to an AI coding agent rather than writing code directly. The software runs generated plugins within a DAW and is intended to support iterative development through live reloading as changes are made.
Pook is designed to work with coding agents including Claude Code, Codex, Antigravity, Cursor, and other compatible tools. Users can describe the intended sound, controls, and visual design of a plugin, after which the coding agent generates the required code.
According to Pook Audio, the plugin can then run in the DAW without a separate build setup. When the code is changed, Pook reloads it in place, allowing users to listen to revisions within their current session without restarting the DAW or rescanning plugins.
The software is intended to handle plugin-related functions such as screen scaling, session recall, automation, MIDI support, transport synchronisation, and CPU use across DAWs. Pook Audio states that it also provides support from its DSP, user-interface, plugin-engineering, and quality-assurance teams.
Pook is available in three editions:
- Pook Fx, for audio-processing plugins such as EQs, compressors, delays, and reverbs.
- Pook Instrument, for note-playing plugins including synthesisers, samplers, and drum machines.
- Pook Studio, which combines the effects and instrument-focused editions.
The platform is also designed to support publishing. Pook Audio plans to provide signed installers for macOS and Windows under the maker’s own name, alongside a licensing system that uses a purchase email address and one-time code rather than serial numbers. Publisher plans are currently open for a waitlist.
“Every producer has a plugin they wish existed,” said Ayal Yishay, founder of Pook Audio. “Until now, making it meant learning C++ or paying someone who had. Now it means describing it, and hearing it in your session a minute later.”
Pook is available for macOS and Windows as a free download with a 21-day trial. Pook Fx and Pook Instrument are each priced at $199, with an early-bird price of $129. Pook Studio is priced at $299, with an early-bird price of $179. The builder licences are one-time purchases with no subscription, according to Pook Audio.
