0) Why This Matters

Generative audio is the next creative wave. With OpenAI’s new music model, Suno, and Stable Audio setting the pace, businesses can now own their sonic identity instead of renting it.
From ad intros to in-app loops, you’re about to give your brand a sound.

1) Architecture

2) Workflow

1. Creative Brief → Prompt

   • “Uplifting 30 s loop for app onboarding—lo-fi drums, ambient guitar, hopeful mood.”

   • Claude 4.5 Haiku builds the final text-to-music prompt structure.

2. Generation

   • Suno AI produces 3 variants.

3. Metadata & Storage

   • GPT-5-mini tags each track (genre, mood, BPM, instrumentation).

4. Post-Processing

   • LALAL.AI extracts stems; Adobe Audition normalizes output.

5. Feedback Cycle

   • Slack poll: 🔥 Loved | 🤔 Neutral | ❌ Skip

   • Supabase logs sentiment scores.

6. Reuse & Share

   • Best-rated tracks auto-publish to your “Brand Soundboard.”

2. Write 3 creative briefs.

3. Generate 3 tracks via Suno or Stable Audio.

4. Rate in Slack; pick 1 winner.

5. Log metadata + store in Airtable.
