Neko: Pocket Wireless Studio

Hey Product Hunt! 👋

TL;DR
Neko is easier to show than explain. Here's a quick demo:

I'm Vadim, founder of Neko Engineering.

I've been playing guitar for years, and there's one thing that's always frustrated me: sometimes getting ready to play takes longer than actually playing.

After a long day at work, you might have just 5 or 10 minutes for your guitar. But setting up amps, pedals, cables, and software can easily kill that moment of inspiration.

That's why we started building Neko 90 weeks ago.

Our goal was simple: make playing guitar as effortless as picking it up. We ended up creating a complete wireless guitar studio that fits in your pocket.

🎸 Wireless guitar system with ultra-low latency

🎛 Neural amp modeling powered by NAM A2 Full and TONE3000

🎵 Real-time AI stem separation, running offline on the device

🎼 AI-generated guitar tabs to learn your favorite songs

🎙 Multitrack recording to capture your ideas

⏳ Time Machine to make sure you never lose a riff

🤖 AI Arranger to turn your riffs into full arrangements

And all of this runs on dedicated hardware, without requiring a laptop or phone for the core features.

Building Neko has been an incredible journey. We designed our own hardware, optimized neural audio processing, and spent countless hours making everything work together with minimal latency.

Along the way, we won a Red Dot Design Concept Award 2026 and got featured in Guitar World, New Atlas, and Gizmodo Japan.

And just recently, we crossed $400,000 on Kickstarter!

We're now working toward production, with shipping planned for April 2027.

🎁 Special offer for early Product Hunt supporters!
