February 24, 2026 — ProducerAI (formerly known as Riffusion), a leading AI music creation platform and a Sky9 Capital portfolio company, has been acquired by Google.
The ProducerAI team will join Google Labs and Google DeepMind to integrate its technology into Google’s suite of tools. The move unites both teams under a shared mission: empowering artists of every level to create the music they imagine.
Sky9 Capital led the company’s Seed round in 2023, alongside South Park Commons and Greycroft, and acted as a key strategic partner throughout its rapid scaling. Ron Cao, Founding Partner of Sky9 Capital, commented: “Congratulations to Seth Forsgren, Hayk Martiros, and the entire ProducerAI team on this landmark achievement. It has been a privilege to support their journey in redefining the boundaries of musical expression and human creativity, and we are thrilled to see their vision reach new heights within the Google ecosystem.”
A New Era of Musical Expression
ProducerAI is a sophisticated, creative AI collaborator designed to empower users at every stage of the musical journey—from drafting lyrics and refining melodies to pioneering entirely new genres. By bridging the gap between imagination and production, ProducerAI enables the seamless creation of dynamic, high-fidelity compositions.
The platform transforms simple prompts into complex arrangements. A user may begin with a foundational request, such as “generate a lofi beat,” and progress into advanced production techniques such as applying reverb throws or enhancing low-end punch for cross-genre tracks and music videos. ProducerAI prioritizes the joy of the creative process as much as the final output.
Powered by Google Innovation
As part of the Google ecosystem, ProducerAI leverages a powerhouse suite of state-of-the-art models from Google DeepMind:
Lyria 3: For advanced music generation and acoustic modeling.
Gemini: Powering the intuitive conversational interface.
Nano Banana: For high-fidelity visual assets and album art.
Veo: For AI-powered music videos.
SynthID: All outputs are embedded with Google’s SynthID watermark, ensuring the responsible identification of AI-generated content.
Elias Roman, Senior Director of Product Management at Google Labs, emphasized that the continued development of ProducerAI at Google will remain laser-focused on artist control. This commitment includes the expansion of features like Spaces, which enables creators to use natural language to build entirely new instruments and effects—ranging from simple keyboards to complex, node-based modular audio patching environments. These “mini-apps” are designed to be both shareable and remixable across the global user community.
