CriticAI

CriticAI is an AI-powered analysis platform that provides instant professional feedback for music tracks and book manuscripts.

What is CriticAI?

CriticAI is an AI-driven tool created by co-founders Naol Denko, Praveen Akmeemana, and Aaron Jara. It accepts audio files (MP3, WAV, FLAC) and manuscript documents (TXT, PDF, DOC) and returns structured evaluations covering technical quality, composition, market potential, and more. The platform is backed by LvlUp Labs, AWS Activate, Google for Startups, and NVIDIA Inception, and has completed over 21,800 reviews.

Key Features

• Dual-craft analysis — One platform evaluates both music tracks and book manuscripts with equal depth.
• Technical & artistic scoring — Provides separate scores for production quality, arrangement, vocal performance (music) and narrative structure, character voice, reader fit (books).
• Market context — Identifies similar artists or books and suggests target audiences and regions for success, as noted by users.
• Flexible input — Supports MP3, WAV, FLAC audio uploads (max 25MB) and manuscript uploads or text paste (up to 10,000 characters for lyrics/manuscript text).
• Instant results — Analysis is delivered within minutes after submitting the file and metadata (track title, artist name, or book metadata).
• Credit-based pricing — Pay $1 per analysis with no expiration on credits, or subscribe for regular reviews (subscription pricing not detailed on site).
