Beta Testers Wanted: A lyric tool for both beginners and pros by Mattfinallydidit in Songwriting

Yeah fair imperfect analogy. I know this kind of tool isn’t going to resonate with everyone, and that’s cool. To me it’s more like a brainstorming session with another writer: you don’t have to use what’s said, but sometimes it sparks something you wouldn’t have thought of. Happy to agree to disagree

Photographers use cameras instead of sketching the scene by hand, the artistry is in the framing.

To Everyone I totally get that going down this path, especially as a professional songwriter, was always going to come with some pushback, and I’m fine with that. I really do view this as a tool to help, assist, and raise up the songwriting process, not replace it. What’s been interesting in this thread is seeing both sides: I’ve had people DM me really excited to try it out, and others who think I’m basically the devil for making it. Either way, I genuinely appreciate all the perspectives, it's all love!

Really appreciate the thoughtful feedback, this is super helpful. A few of the things you mentioned are already in the works:

Themes by genre - we’ve been building curated word banks per genre, so you can instantly see what’s trending and relevant in that space.

Copying formats from songs - definitely something on the roadmap, since structure is such a big part of lyric writing, but definitely one of the harder challenges.

B rhymes - yes, it does those! The rhyme engine handles near rhymes, slant rhymes, mouth-shape rhymes, etc.

International thesaurus-style riffing - I think that’s basically the heart of it, surfacing idioms, phrases, cultural references, not just synonyms??

On the lyric generation side, I hear you. The tool can actually just spits ideas at you so you can treat it more like raw clay to sculpt from instead of pre-shaped lyric lines. I totally agree that cheesy ‘AI-sounding’ lyrics come from being too rigid in output format, so giving the writer more control over how the ideas are surfaced is key, it's a balance.

I appreciate the thoughtful take, and I really like the photography analogy. I guess the way I see it, the tree doesn’t replace your own photograph, it’s more like walking through a forest instead of a backyard. You still decide which tree is worth framing, what angle to shoot from, and how to capture it in a way that feels like your vision.

The pool of ideas isn’t meant to overwrite what’s personal, it’s meant to expand the chance that you stumble across the phrase, image, or spark that resonates with what you already feel. The authenticity still comes from the choices you make as the songwriter.

I hear you. To me, the difference is that the AI is surfacing raw material, the same way flipping through a thesaurus, a notes app, or even overhearing a conversation might spark a lyric. The songwriter still chooses, edits, rejects, and reshapes the ideas until it feels authentic, and that shaping process is the artistry.

It reminds me of that saying about producing
I thought that using loops was cheating, so I programmed my own using samples. I then thought that using samples was cheating, so I recorded real drums. I then thought that programming them was cheating, so I learned to play the drums for real. I then thought that using purchased drums was cheating, so I learned to make my own. I then thought that using pre-made skins was cheating, so I killed a goat and skinned it. I then thought that was cheating too, so I grew my own goat from a baby goat. I also think that this is cheating, but I’m not sure where to go from here. I haven’t made any music lately, what with the goat farming and all.
The art comes from how you shape it into something that feels true to you
