Google just made a major play in AI-generated music. The tech giant is acquiring ProducerAI, an AI-powered music creation platform that's caught the attention of artists like The Chainsmokers, and folding it into Google Labs. The deal marks Google's latest push to dominate the generative AI creative tools space, with ProducerAI getting a powerful upgrade through integration with Google's new Lyria 3 music-making AI model.
Google is bringing AI music creation in-house. The company announced it's acquiring ProducerAI, a platform that's been turning heads in the music industry since its launch just seven months ago. The deal brings ProducerAI under the Google Labs umbrella, where it'll get a significant technical boost through integration with Google's latest Lyria 3 music-making AI model.
ProducerAI landed on the scene in July 2025 as the evolution of Riffusion, an earlier AI music tool that demonstrated the potential of AI-generated audio. The platform takes a conversational approach to music creation, letting users work alongside an AI agent to generate sounds, workshop lyrics, remix existing songs, and even dream up entirely new instruments based on text prompts. It's the kind of tool that democratizes music production, though it's also sparked the usual debates about AI's role in creative industries.
What made ProducerAI stand out wasn't just its technical capabilities but its adoption by actual musicians. The Chainsmokers, the Grammy-winning DJ duo known for hits like "Closer" and "Don't Let Me Down," have reportedly used the platform. That endorsement from working artists gave ProducerAI credibility in a space where many AI music tools get dismissed as novelties.
Google's interest makes strategic sense. The company has been quietly building out its AI music capabilities for months, and Lyria 3 represents its latest attempt to crack the code on high-quality AI-generated music. According to previous reporting on Lyria 3, the model is designed to generate more realistic and musically coherent compositions than earlier iterations. By acquiring ProducerAI, Google gets a proven user interface and an existing user base to showcase what Lyria 3 can do.
