AI Inside the DAW
Generated material only joins the workflow once it is in the DAW, and format decides how much can be changed.

The problem
Generating music in a browser is easy; getting it into a session and continuing is the real work. Imports go wrong in familiar ways: wrong tempo, offset start, stems collapsed into one file, unsupported format. The integration method decides how much can still be changed.
Judging it
Look at export options: tools that deliver stems and MIDI leave room to work, while stereo-only tools force a full regeneration to change one note. Check whether tempo and key are written into the file and readable by the DAW. Check batch export and naming conventions. Consider plug-in versus web form: a plug-in runs inside the session and skips the round trip, while a web tool depends on files going back and forth.
Practice
Set tempo and key in the DAW before generating to reduce alignment work. Align the start point immediately after import, then check length and sample rate. Name stems by function and group them in the session. Keep the original exports rather than only processed copies inside the project. With plug-ins, confirm the session still opens on another machine.
What to listen for
On the funk kit, whether the import sits on the grid; in the rondo, whether dynamics survive a symbolic import; in the quartet, whether parts remain separately adjustable. When integration is smooth, the tool disappears into the process.
