Yep, this would have taken me maybe a few months (possibly a year) before, learning what I needed to know, and AI brought it down to about 10 days. Also have an ML background but this didn't come into play building this, I got my agent to do the research on what tools were available and which I could use based on their licenses, then created an eval set and tried the tools against one another until I landed on the best set.

I've thought about these kinds of apps a lot recently, and am also working on some (not for singing though), I have a programming background (and a PhD in Machine Learning) but still I am impressed by what Claude Code can do so I'm hardly writing a single line of code myself any more. Asking for the right things is still important of course.
