Akhil Tolani's work focuses on building products that use experimental technologies like artificial intelligence for the mainstream audience.

Akhil has built various applications, including iMusic (the first music player for iOS) and Rapchat (a recording studio application with over 10 million users). He previously won an Apple WWDC Scholarship and a Facebook F8 Scholarship and has published multiple research papers on artificial intelligence.

Akhil will use his grant to continue working on CassetteAI, which fuses generative AI with music to democratize music creation, allowing everyone to create and listen to music they love based on their preferences.
