Punchline collects “workflow” data, called Punchlines, from audio production software, currently only available to Ableton creators. Every time a creator saves their work, a “Punch” is created, in which the session’s tools and processes are permanently recorded and delivered to the creator's Punchline Catalog within seconds.
