Google Lyria 3: AI Music Creation in Gemini App
ProducerAI, the Chainsmokers‑approved AI music tool, joins Google
The music studio just got a new kind of producer, one you can talk to like a collaborator. ProducerAI, an AI-powered music tool that already has the Chainsmokers’ seal of approval, is now part of Google. Seth Forsgren, the startup’s cofounder and CEO, says the team is “just scratching the surface” of what these models can do once they harness everything Google brings.
The platform’s edge? A built-in conversational agent. Elias Roman, product management director at Google Labs, puts it plainly: the standout difference is that you can actually talk to this AI, ask it about a new genre, then start crafting a song on the spot.
No clunky menus, no steep learning curve. Just a dialogue that turns into a track. Google’s acquisition signals a quiet shift in how we’ll make music, less about commands and more about conversation.
Seth Forsgren, the cofounder and CEO of ProducerAI, tells The Verge the team is "just scratching the surface of what these models are going to be able to do once we harness everything that Google brings to the table." "You can talk to this producer like you would a Gemini model, ask questions, and learn about a new genre," Forsgren says. "As soon as you want to, you can start actually creating, and you can craft things with these instruments and make a song and iterate on it." According to Elias Roman, the director of product management at Google Labs, the key difference between ProducerAI and other AI music-making platforms is the conversation with the platform's built-in agent.
This is the bet Google is placing: that the future of music production isn’t a sterile grid of parameters, but a dialogue. ProducerAI, already road-tested by the Chainsmokers, now gets the full weight of Gemini’s reasoning and Google’s scale. The tool doesn’t just generate sound; it teaches you the genre you’re reaching for, lets you ask why a snare hits the way it does, then hands you the keys to build your own.
Forsgren sees this as only the beginning, scratching a surface that, with Google’s horsepower, could soon become a new kind of instrument. One where the barrier isn’t technical skill but imagination. For every bedroom producer and curious listener, that’s a door that just got a lot wider.
