When You Say “I Want to Write a Song”, It Hands You a Real Guitar
I’ve tried countless AI music tools, and most follow the same logic: you type a description, and the tool returns an audio clip. The output sounds decent, yet it never truly feels yours — the song is generated for you, not created by you.
Tianpuyue takes a completely different approach. It has two distinctive products, one cloud-based and one physical hardware device, built on a unified core idea: get users genuinely involved in creation, instead of only asking them to input text prompts.
Product 1: Tunee – Conversational AI Music Creation Agent
Tunee is its flagship offering, China’s first conversational interactive music creation Agent.
You can chat with it naturally like this: “I want a melancholic song with a hopeful ending, could you add a guitar solo in the middle?”
It fully understands your intent and executes a complete production workflow: music analysis, arrangement, vocal generation, lyric matching, and even auto-generates an AI music video tailored to the track. In short, you share a creative idea, and it delivers a fully finished, publish-ready song paired with a matching MV, not a rough draft.
Its standout technical specifications: it supports over 30 languages, and single tracks can run up to 5 minutes long. Most mainstream AI music tools only produce 1–2 minute snippets; stable generation of complete 5-minute structured tracks proves its mature song structure processing capabilities.
Tunee runs on the proprietary Tianpuyue Multimodal Music Large Model, the world’s first multimodal music generation foundation model that supports text-to-music, image-to-music, audio-to-music and video-to-music generation. Unveiled at ChinaJoy in July 2024, it has been fully integrated into Changya APP, serving its 46 million registered users.
Product 2: TemPolor Melo-D – The World’s First Generative AI Guitar
If Tunee represents online virtual creation, Melo-D stands for offline physical creation. It is far more than an ordinary smart guitar; it is a physical hardware device embedded with generative AI technology.
Officially launched at the 2025 Alibaba Cloud Summit in September, it was jointly developed by Qutan Technology and musical instrument manufacturers. Its retail price is 3,699 RMB, with an early-bird pre-order price of 2,499 RMB. It officially went on sale in December 2025, and has received official recognition from Frost & Sullivan as the World’s Pioneer of Generative AI Guitars.
Its core key features:
- Hum-to-Solo Conversion: Hum a short melody, and the guitar automatically converts it into a complete guitar solo. Essentially, AI eliminates the core barriers to instrumental creation: music theory knowledge and long-term finger technique training.
- LED Fretboard Guidance: LED lights line the fretboard, lighting up the exact frets to press, enabling absolute beginners to learn and play simultaneously.
- Intelligent Beat Accompaniment: It automatically matches rhythm backing tracks to your live playing, making impromptu improvisation sound polished and cohesive.
It effectively ports the full Tianpuyue Large Model from cloud servers into a physical guitar. You can treat it as an independent standalone creation terminal, rather than merely a MIDI controller that requires constant connection to a computer.
Scenarios & Core Value
Tianpuyue’s product portfolio forms a three-tiered ecosystem:
- Model Layer: Tianpuyue Multimodal Music Large Model (the world’s first multimodal music generation foundation model)
- Application Layer: Tunee Agent (cloud-based full-track music and AI video generation)
- Hardware Layer: TemPolor Melo-D (physical offline AI musical instrument)
This layered architecture covers all types of users: absolute musical laymen can generate complete works via Tunee; hobbyists with basic playing skills can experience interactive creation with Melo-D; developers and enterprises can access customized integration via Tianpuyue open APIs.
Public performance data shows Tunee recorded the fastest monthly active user growth among peer products during its first month of public beta, with annual recurring revenue exceeding one million. It holds an 8.8 rating on Guancha Network. Tianpuyue’s R&D team won the global championship at a global algorithm competition in September 2024, beating over 6,000 competing teams worldwide. Tunee has also been repeatedly listed on QbitAI’s AI 100 Innovative Products Rankings.
Clear Limitations
Tianpuyue’s products are primarily built for individual creators, music enthusiasts and casual lightweight users. While its model drastically lowers the threshold for music creation, professional DAW software and traditional studio hardware remain irreplaceable if you require ultra-precise audio quality control, detailed multi-track editing, or deep customized production for niche genres.
From a hardware perspective, the positioning of Melo-D differs drastically from traditional electric guitars. It caters to beginners who want to enjoy music without formal training, rather than professional session musicians.
Who Should Try These Tools?
Absolute musical beginners with creative ideas
Tunee ranks among the most beginner-friendly AI music tools available. No music theory knowledge or post-production skills required — full-length publishable songs with matching AI videos can be generated purely through natural conversation prompts.
Music hobbyists & casual creators
Start with Tunee’s free trial to experience AI-assisted online creation. If you possess basic playing skills, attend offline Melo-D experience events; its unique interactive gameplay differs entirely from traditional instruments and is worth hands-on testing.
Developers & corporate teams
Tianpuyue’s open API platform (platform.tianpuyue.cn) supports customized industry integration for film, television, education and other vertical sectors. You may evaluate its fit for your business scenarios.
Tianpuyue’s core vision extends beyond simply building AI music tools. It is building a complete end-to-end music creation ecosystem, continuously lowering the barriers to professional music production and enabling more people to express their emotions through original music.
