The platform that didn't exist.

Playwright · Composer · Lyricist · Author

Meldio was conceived after Richard Ehrlich spent months trying to produce an audio version of his own musical using existing AI technologies and discovered that no platform existed to orchestrate the entire workflow.

The pieces were all technically possible. Voices could be generated. Audio could be edited. Music could be added. But every piece lived in a different tool, and assembling a coherent, professional listening experience out of them meant doing the work of a production studio by hand: managing casting, sequencing, timing, and assembly across disconnected products, none of which understood a script.

The insight came from a real creator problem: tools could generate individual pieces, but creators still needed a unified way to turn narrative intellectual property into a coherent audio experience.

“The idea didn’t come from a market study. It came from trying to build an audio version of my own musical — and discovering that no platform could do the job.”

That origin shaped Meldio's principles. Content stays creator-owned: Meldio presents your work, it does not own it. The workflow is private, so unreleased material stays unreleased. And the platform does not generate content, because the writing is yours; Meldio's job is the performance.

Meldio is developed by GoYou Brands, LLC and is currently in private beta.
