Definition
AKOÚŌ is a computational listening system for agents: a framework that helps software listen to audio, interpret sonic events, extract meaning, and act within sound-based workflows.
Perception
Software that listens.
Agents need ears as much as they need a voice. AKOÚŌ provides a perceptual layer: onset, timbre, scene, intent, language, presence. Audio becomes something an agent can reason about.
Action
From listening to act.
Listening only matters when something can change because of it. AKOÚŌ produces structured outputs — events, classifications, descriptions — that can be wired into any agentic workflow.
Open framework
ACOA — the productized form.
AKOÚŌ is the research lineage; ACOA is the system you embed. Together they form a framework for sonic perception that other Phonostack tools and external agents can rely on.
