App Showcase: AI Song

What it does

AI Song is a mobile app that generates original music based on user inputs. Users can describe a song, choose from various genres and moods, and even select an AI-generated singer to perform the track. A standout feature is the ability for users to create a personalized AI voice avatar by recording or uploading their own voice, which can then be used to sing any generated song.

Where it shines

The app's strength lies in its speed and interactivity. The onboarding (00:06) immediately engages users with a creative vinyl record carousel, quickly moving them into a simple, quiz-like creation flow (00:20). Within a minute, the user has a custom-generated song, demonstrating the app's core value proposition before ever asking for payment. The extensive library of AI singers, from fictional characters to K-Pop idols (04:38), adds a layer of fun and novelty that encourages experimentation.

UX highlights

• Thematic Onboarding: The vinyl record carousel (00:07) is a clever and memorable way to introduce the app's features, connecting with the music theme right away.
• Guided Creation: The multi-step quiz for generating the first song (00:24 - 00:37) simplifies a potentially complex process into easy-to-digest choices.
• High-Commitment Feature: The voice avatar creation flow (01:48) requires a significant time investment (7-15 minutes of audio). This positions it as a premium, high-value feature for dedicated users.
• Clear Visual Feedback: When creating a voice avatar, a progress bar (02:13) visually tracks how much audio has been provided, guiding the user toward their goal.
• Extensive Content Library: The app offers a wide array of genres and singers, including niche categories like Anime and K-Pop (04:41), catering to diverse user tastes.
• Easy Sharing and Saving: Once a song is generated, prominent share and download buttons (05:29) make it simple for users to export their creations.

Monetization & growth

The app employs a multi-layered paywall strategy. After the first song is created, a paywall appears at 00:58 offering yearly and weekly plans. If a user dismisses this, a more aggressive, time-limited "special offer" with a deeper discount is immediately presented (01:18). This exit-intent strategy aims to convert hesitant users with urgency. The app also uses a rating prompt (00:48) and a "Help Us Grow" screen to encourage social sharing and feedback, acting as organic growth loops.

Who it’s for

This app is for creative individuals, social media content creators, and music enthusiasts who want to quickly produce original music without needing technical skills. The fun, character-based singers suggest a younger, entertainment-focused audience. The custom voice avatar feature also appeals to users who want to create highly personalized content, such as custom songs for friends or unique social media posts.

Notes & opportunities

The main friction point is the immediate and unavoidable paywall sequence after the first song creation. While it shows value first, some users might feel blocked too early. The voice creation requirement of 7-15 minutes is a high barrier; the app could benefit from demonstrating the feature's output more clearly before asking for such a large time commitment. Finally, the app displays an error message on purchase attempts (01:14), which indicates a potential bug in the payment flow.
