A workshop facilitator now opens sessions with custom AI songs made in minutes

A custom GPT and a six-step process turn agendas and speaker profiles into original songs, once in under 30 minutes before a talk began.

This facilitator found a way to make workshops feel personal from the very first second: an original song written for that room, that topic, that guest. They built a custom GPT and a repeatable process around it. It is a lovely example of taking an AI skill from the program and turning it into something people remember.

Suno Music Genius: individualised music for workshops and events

Before

They ran workshops, community sessions and trainings, and wanted them to create engagement and be memorable. The ingredients were there: agendas, participant details, speaker profiles, training documents. What was missing was a fast, reliable way to turn that material into something that grabbed people at the start.

“Enriching Workshops and events with individualised music. It creates engagement and makes it memorable.”

In their own words

The turning point

They developed a custom GPT, "Suno Music Genius", that understands what Suno needs in both lyrics and style prompts, and wrapped it in a clear process. Research comes first with ChatGPT, Claude or Perplexity, then the GPT drafts a style, lyrics and a title, refined through iteration before the song is generated and remastered in Suno. The proof came with a guest speaker on corporate AI chatbots: from idea to LinkedIn research to a finished song embedded in the first slide, all within about 30 minutes, directly before the start.

“Was quite a positive surprise for the guest speaker (Topic was corporate AI chatbots)”

In their own words

After

Now music is part of how they host. They have written songs like "Swinging Agile", "Scrum Shenigans & Iteration Blues" for a session on failure culture, "Rise and Create" for a generative AI workshop, and a German start song for a project management training. They plan to bring the approach into an upcoming Six Sigma Black Belt training, and even create songs from AI images by way of a poem.

What it lets people do

Facilitators can open a meeting with a song made for that exact group, timed to end about 30 seconds after the official start as a kind of countdown. The same songs can go into invitations and social posts to build anticipation before people arrive.

What they learned

They learned that a small, personal touch changes how people show up: when you are known for the music, people come early to enjoy it. They also found that the real value is the process, a structured loop of research, iteration and refinement that makes a fresh song possible on short notice.

“Serves as sort of a countdown and people tend to be early to enjoy that music if you are known for that.”

Achievement: Enriching Workshops and events with individualised music. It creates engagement and makes it memorable. Also suitable for engagement on social media. I developed a custom GPT for that and a process. The benefit: Fast, supported AI music development. In one instance (Guest speaker, not uploaded). I created that from the inspiration to do it, via background reseach on Linkedin (incl. an article there) to generated sond embedded in the first ppt slide within max 30 min. Directly before the start. Was quite a positive surprise for the guest speaker (Topic was corporate AI chatbots) Examples: - Guest speaker introduction (song/ links and process included) - Workshop introduction (a german one - example included) - 2 songs on a workshop session on "Agile Fuck UP Stories/ failure culture". one for the announcement one for the start - I will use that approach also in the upcoming Six Sigma Black Belt training - Create engagement on social media (requires usually to create AI videos on it, otherwise low attention, in my experience - I did not do that yet) Tools: - ChatGPT/ Claude/ perplexity for research of basis information - ChatGPT custom GPT "Suno Music Genius" https://chatgpt.com/g/g-678d36182414819180039068139ddc5a-suno-music-genius - Suno.com Methodology/ Process: 1. Generate the Basis information. e.g a. for a workshop upload agenda goal and information about the participants b. for a guest speaker add the speakers profile and information about the topic (often copy/paste) c. for a training upload the whole training document and describe process and goal (what they learn) d. For generally a song, sometimes its helpful to start with generating a poem in a famous style. You also can derive a poem from an image like i did with "Feathers in the frost" and "Queen of shattered light" (both attached) 2. if done in the Suno Music Genius, proceed there or upload the copy/ paste the information. State your intention and target group. Then request a style. Iterate and refine as needed. 3. Let the GPT create lyrics (and title). Refine and iterate as needed. The GPT understands the requirements of Suno in both lyrics and style prompt. 4. Copy/ paste both style and lyrics 5. Iterate on Suno & try to remaster. 6. Select the best & download Tip1: Use it in the start of a meeting as a warmup so that about 30sec after official start the music ends. Serves as sort of a countdown and people tend to be early to enjoy that music if you are known for that. Tip2: use it also in the announcement (invitation or social media). I often use a different one, meanwhile. The songs: - Swinging Agile: An Agile CoP workshop - Scrum Shenigans & Iteration Blues: Agile CoP workshop on "Fuck up Stories" - Rise and Create: Workshop on Generative AI - Countdown to Go: Social media to create awareness on my Coaching Skills - Projekthaftes Arbeiten: a start song for an on-site training of project management approaches to day-to-day project work. German - Muse in the Machine and Sonic Synergy: Just testing the GPT in various stages. Might come in handy when talking about AI music generation - Feathers in the Frost & Queen of shattered light: 2 songs that I derived from an AI generated image as the starting point, then poem then lyrics.
