Google is expanding its push into AI-powered music creation by bringing the platform ProducerAI into its growing suite of experimental tools. As part of the move, the company will integrate ProducerAI into Google’s Google Labs, while powering the service with an early version of its new music-generation model, Lyria 3.

Originally launched in July 2025, ProducerAI was built as the next evolution of the AI music tool Riffusion. The platform allows users to collaborate with an AI “producer” that can help generate sounds, refine lyrics, remix tracks, and even design entirely new instruments based on prompts.

According to co-founder and CEO Seth Forsgren, the integration with Google will dramatically expand what the platform can do. He says the team has only begun to explore the possibilities that come from combining their technology with Google’s AI capabilities.

“You can talk to this producer like you would a Gemini model, ask questions, and learn about a new genre. 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.”

Elias Roman, Director of Product Management at Google Labs, says this conversational approach sets ProducerAI apart from many existing AI music generators. Rather than acting like a one-click tool that spits out random results, the system is designed to mimic the iterative process musicians go through when producing a track.

The platform will also take advantage of several other Google AI models. Gemini powers the chat interface, Nano Banana can generate album artwork, and Veo can create AI-driven music videos. All of these systems work together under the direction of the AI “producer,” allowing users to focus on the creative side while the platform handles the technical coordination.

To address transparency concerns, Google will also embed its SynthID watermark into content generated through ProducerAI. The watermark identifies AI-created audio, images, video, and text.

The ProducerAI team has already worked with artists including The Chainsmokers, Lecrae, and Anjulie to help shape the platform. Alex Pall of The Chainsmokers said the duo is “so grateful” to see how ProducerAI evolves. “It’s truly crafted around the musician’s experience,” Pall adds.

Still, AI music tools remain a controversial topic in the industry. While platforms such as ElevenLabs, Udio, and Suno are gaining traction, many artists have criticized the rise of AI-generated clones. Some platforms are pushing back as well — Bandcamp has banned AI-generated music entirely, while Deezer has introduced detection systems to limit its visibility.

Despite the debate, ProducerAI will continue operating as a standalone service within Google Labs. The platform offers a free tier with limited credits, while paid plans start at $8 per month for 3,000 credits (roughly 600 songs). Higher tiers at $24 and $64 per month unlock larger music generation limits.

ProducerAI is now available in more than 250 countries and can be accessed through its website on both desktop and mobile.
