Company
Sonauto
Create hit songs with AI
We built Sonauto, an AI music editor that can turn prompts, lyrics, or melodies into complete songs in any style. You can write a prompt like 'a Frank Sinatra birthday song' and get a finished track in minutes. It automates much of the music production process that typically requires years of skill and expensive equipment.
We currently live in different locations but work remotely. After YC, the company will remain remote since our team is distributed and that works for us.
We aren't tied to a single location. Remote lets us hire whoever we want and focus on building the product without location constraints.
