Hitou

Hitou makes personalized songs as gifts. You pick the occasion (birthday, anniversary, wedding, Mother's Day), tell us who the song is about and the small details only you know, choose a genre, mood and voice, and get a full studio-quality track with original lyrics about that person in about a minute. The preview is free; you pay from $29 only if you like it. No account, no subscription, and the song comes with a shareable gift page. Why I built it: commissioning a custom song from a musician costs $100+ and takes a week. Generic AI music tools give you a track, but not a song about a real person. Hitou sits in between: the wizard is designed around the recipient, so names, pronouns and shared memories end up in the lyrics. How it's made: FastAPI + PostgreSQL backend, an LLM writes the lyrics from the wizard answers, Suno v5 renders the audio with word-level timestamps for a karaoke view, and card / Apple Pay / PayPal checkout. Live for US customers since July 2026.
