Show HN: Galiboo – An A.I.-powered API for music

Post by subby » Mon, Sep 10, 2018, 12:19 PM UTC

Hi guys! At our startup, Galiboo, we've created an AI-powered API for music, which can do things like:

- searching for music with natural language - extracting hundreds of moods & emotions from any track - finding tracks by tags - get similar-sounding music - and more.

The website is https://galiboo.com/, and the API docs are at apidocs.galiboo.com. We've also got a live demo at demo.galiboo.com.

We also have a Python client library at https://github.com/galiboo/galiboo-python.

Our APIs are in beta, so we'd love to hear your thoughts & feedback! :)

Thanks!

"Learn how the music in your ads affect conversion rates, find the right music for ads, and more." I dont get this. How does it work?

Hey, thanks for commenting! The music typically used in ads (like video ads) can have a great impact on click-through-rates and conversion. So, by testing ads with different tracks by specific moods, we can find the right music that optimizes ads. We're currently testing this with a few private beta customers, so we'll see how it goes! :)

I tried it on my favourite demo scene video[1] from the last few years, and it did really well at tagging it. That's cool.

Hi guys! Seems like we've received a load of requests that we weren't expecting, so our API servers seem to be suffering temporarily. We're working on it though! :)

This is really cool. I've wanted something like this for a while and have flirted with the idea of building something like this myself a few times. Great job on shipping something! Can't wait to play around with it.

Hey thanks a lot for the feedback! :) The demo service seems to not be working temporarily, but we're on the issue and we'll fix it fast. Thanks again! :)
