1. 🎵 AI Song Generator
What it does:
Users type in a theme, emotion, or a few lyrics—and the app generates a full AI song, including melody, beat, and vocals.
Why it works:
Content creators, YouTubers, and indie musicians are always hunting for original audio. Add royalty-free music generation with emotion-based tuning and you’ve got a niche hit.
Monetization ideas:
- Credits per song
- Subscription for commercial license
- TikTok/Instagram integration upsell
How to build it with Eachlabs:
Eachlabs already has a prebuilt Song Generator workflow. The Song Generator Advanced Model includes steps for → lyrics → vocals → mood → genre, and returns a downloadable MP3. You just need to connect your frontend and manage credits using Eachlabs’ SDK.
2. 🎨 AI Anime Image Generator
What it does:
