AI-powered audio separation platform beats Adobe, Captions AI, and Cosmos to claim Internet's highest honor, voted by the public.
ZUG, Switzerland and NEW YORK, May 7, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- LALAL.AI, the AI-powered audio separation and stem splitting platform, today announced it has won the People's Voice Award for Best Use of AI & Machine Learning in the Apps, Software & Immersive category at the 30th Annual Webby Awards, hailed by The New York Times as "the Internet's highest honor."
The People's Voice Award is decided entirely by public vote, with millions of ballots cast each year by internet users around the world. LALAL.AI's win came against a shortlist of prominent AI products, including Adobe Premiere Object Mask, Beeble AI, Captions AI, and Cosmos.
In addition to the People's Voice win, LALAL.AI also received a Webby Honoree distinction in the Creator, Creative, and Media Tools category, also under Apps, Software & Immersive, recognizing the platform among the top entries in that category as well.
"In 2025, we reached nearly 7 million users, and it's those same people who cast their votes for us. LALAL.AI started as a vocal separation tool and has grown into a full audio processing ecosystem, with transformer-based AI, stem splitting, voice cloning, and a VST plugin on the way," said Nik Pogorsky, LALAL.AI co-founder. "Everything we've built, we've built together with our community. That's why the People's Voice Award means more to us than any industry jury ever could."
LALAL.AI will be honored at the 30th Annual Webby Awards ceremony in New York City on May 11, 2026, where winners deliver one of the awards' famous five-word acceptance speeches, a tradition that has produced iconic moments like NASA's "Houston, We Have A Webby" and Steve Wilhite's "It's Pronounced 'Jif,' Not 'Gif.'
