Why Are AI Music Tools Still Lagging Behind?

There are tons of AI tools for image, text, and video generation Midjourney, ChatGPT, Sora, Runway, etc. But when it comes to music, the options seem way more limited.

For those of us creating content (podcasts, YouTube videos, gaming, etc.), royalty-free AI-generated music would be useful.

What has Product Hunt brought you?

For me, Product Hunt is where I discover the latest, most interesting products and stay on top of what s happening. Beyond that, it s an amazing place to get inspired, and see innovation unfold in real time. Did PH help you get your first users? Did you stumble upon a product that changed your workflow? Have you met someone here who inspired you? Would love to hear your story drop it in the comments!

I’m New Here! From Big Tech PM to Solo Indie Builder

After years of working at leading internet companies as a product manager in interactive entertainment and content recommendation, I decided to take a leap of faith quitting my job to build something truly personal. I ve always been fascinated by the intersection of technology and human emotions. Now, I m channeling that passion into SpongeHome, a companion-based productivity tool designed to help those struggling with focus and emotional stress. It s a mix of AI, gamified relaxation, and smart task management built for people like me, who crave both efficiency and emotional connection in daily life. The journey from zero coding skills to launching a full-fledged app has been exhilarating. With the power of AI, I ve managed to do what once seemed impossible creating a product that feels like a 10-person startup, but as a solo founder. If you ve ever taken the plunge into entrepreneurship, you know the mix of fear and excitement I m feeling. Let s connect, exchange ideas, and build things that make a real impact.

Have you ever wanted to start a podcast to stay in touch with friends?

I thought I wanted to start a podcast with my friends, turns out I just wanted to use the format to stay in touch.
I travel quite a bit so I have friends in many timezones. Some of us attempted to start a podcast by each recording an audio clips and stitching them together into an episode. We quickly realized we didn't want the discussions to be fully public, however, the format of communicating through these audio podcast-like messages was a game changer.
This is what lead to the development of Roads Audio.
So have you ever wanted to start a podcast? What was that experience like?

When do you know your product is ready to launch? Should it be bug free and thoroughly tested?

We've had a few launches so far, and honestly, most of the time, I felt the product was too early. First few days? Super stressful, lots of bugs and issues to solve. But we moved fast, smashed bugs, and found that users were surprisingly forgiving more excited about our pace of iteration than perfection. Now, as we grow and reach a bigger audience, I find myself questioning: How polished should a product be before launch? Do we hold back, refine every edge case, and aim for "perfect"? (But what even is perfect?) Or do we launch fast, brace for impact, fix as we go, and let real users shape what matters most? Curious how others think about this. What s your approach?

What do you struggle with the most when launching a product?

Personally, for me, the hardest part has been reaching out to others for help. (But this is more of a personal challenge than a technical one.) What has been the most difficult part for you when launching a product?
