About Banana Rat
Meet Blaise
Blaise (Duncan Gillis) is an AI creator, artist, and technologist based in Bedford, Nova Scotia, Canada. He builds tools that help musicians, artists, and creators harness the power of artificial intelligence — not to replace human creativity, but to amplify it.
What is Banana Rat?
Banana Rat is an AI creator platform. Our flagship product, BananaRat Music Studio, uses a 7-agent AI pipeline to produce complete songwriter packages — lyrics, chord progressions, MIDI files, MusicXML notation, tablature, and audio renders across 20 genres. Unlike single-model AI music generators, our multi-agent approach gives musicians compositional control and studio-ready output in 11 export formats.
The Platform
Beyond the Music Studio, Banana Rat offers:
- Critter Creator — AI character generation tool for artists and game designers
- Metaverse AI Critters — Blockchain-minted collectible characters
- Art by Blaise — Original AI-assisted digital artwork
- The Banana Rat Blog — Tutorials, insights, and commentary on AI, creativity, and technology
Built Different
The Banana Rat platform runs on an NVIDIA DGX Spark — a local-first AI workstation with 128GB of unified memory and 1 petaFLOP of AI compute. This means your creative data stays private, inference runs locally, and we are not dependent on cloud AI services. We use Claude (Anthropic), NVIDIA Nemotron, and custom multi-agent pipelines to deliver results that generic AI tools cannot match.
