Hi Product Hunt — I'm Teressa. I'm a composer, and LullaWave is what happened when I started writing music for sleep. It began in conversations that kept repeating during the pandemic — friends and family describing the same thing, lying awake at night with the day refusing to settle. Music had always been how I set my own days down, so I thought it might help, even a little. I'll be honest about one turn in the build, because this crowd will appreciate it: I first tried letting AI lead the composition. It had instincts and access to research I couldn't otherwise read. The result felt wrong — a little sinister, even. So I went back into the work led by my own ear. It takes a human ear to choose which sounds are actually calming to humans. I stepped back in as composer; AI stayed in the parts the music can't carry. That's also how the whole company runs, which some of you may find interesting. There are two of us — me and my co-founder, Johnny. The rest of the "team" is a roster of AI agents we direct, each holding a role a larger company would hire for. They carry the throughput; I keep my hands on the music and the choices that shape how the app feels. Same principle as the composing — the human stays at the center, and the AI works the edges it's genuinely good at. The shape LullaWave follows — music as you fall asleep, ambient sound through the night, music again toward morning — isn't something I invented. People across cultures and centuries have used sound around sleep in this same shape. I just translated it. It asks very little of you. No streak to keep, no score to chase. You show up, or you don't. It's there either way. Since people here tend to ask: we've been welcomed into NVIDIA's Inception program and received a grant from ElevenLabs's startup team. We're grateful for both — and we hold them as support, not as anyone's stamp on what LullaWave does for you. Those claims we make carefully, on our own. I'd love to know what you think. Rest well. — Teressa
