New page What HookGenius actually does — the pipeline, explained
We shipped a new page at hookgenius.app/pipeline/ that explains the HookGenius pre-production pipeline: pro-grade lyrics, Suno-ready style prompts, song titles, structural metatags, and vocal direction in one Claude Sonnet pass. It also clarifies what HookGenius is not — we don’t render audio (Suno, Udio, Riffusion, and Mureka do that). Read it if you’ve ever wondered which step in your workflow we sit at.
