LYREBIRD
Giving AI voice technology a voice of its own.
We created the brand identity, website and app interface for Lyrebird, the Montreal AI startup behind ultra-realistic voice synthesis.
Lyrebird’s deep learning technology could recreate a person’s voice from just a small sample of recorded audio, opening up new possibilities in accessibility, gaming and content creation.
The challenge was to turn that cutting-edge technology into a brand and product people could understand, trust and enjoy using.
Make cutting-edge voice AI
feel simple and human.
Lyrebird needed to stand out in a fast-moving AI space and make its technology approachable for creators, developers and businesses, not just researchers. The brand had to feel modern and highly technical, yet friendly enough for anyone to try.
A brand built on sound,
and an interface built for play.
We created a visual identity that combines soundwave aesthetics with a futuristic design language, modern, sleek and technical yet approachable. For the website and app, we focused on making it intuitive to generate, customise and experiment with AI voices, with a minimal interface that lets Lyrebird’s technology take centre stage.
From startup to acquisition
by Descript.
The brand and digital experience helped establish Lyrebird as a leader in AI voice synthesis. Not long after, Lyrebird was acquired by Descript, the AI-powered audio and video editor, where its voice technology now powers voice cloning features used by creators around the world.

“Working with Supereight was a game-changer for Lyrebird. They took our cutting-edge AI voice technology and transformed it into a brand and digital experience that truly resonated with our audience. Their attention to detail, creativity, and ability to simplify complex ideas into a sleek and intuitive design helped elevate our presence in the industry. The work they did on our brand identity, website, and app design played a crucial role in our growth and ultimately our acquisition by Descript. We couldn’t have asked for a better creative partner.”
