跳出套路、月入百万,这家公司验证了“AI+声音”的另一种赚钱方式

Oct 2, 2025

Endel 既不做人声,也不做信息媒介的转换,而是靠 AI 实时生成环境音,服务于“人类需要专注”这一目标。 Endel近6个月的月流水情况|图源点点数据 而切换到专注类 App 的语境下,Endel 的表现,也属于头部一样的存在。 在我们之前的观察中,不论是早期流行的 Forest,还是前不久走红的 Focus Friend,点点数据显示的月流水最高时均未超过 50 万美元(详见白鲸往期《“Nerd 之王”做的 App,不到一个月登顶美国总榜》)。而 Endel 近半年月流水在 70 万美元左右浮动,今年 3 月曾接近百万美元。(注:Sensor Tower 显示 8 月的全球月流水是 88 万美元,因而,实际上 Endel 这款产品的流水可能更高一些。) 声音“动”起来后,能帮用户管理状态? Endel 上线于 2018 年,核心功能是依靠 AI 算法生成个性化音频,帮助用户达成专注、放松或入睡等目的。 Endel 应用截图 初始登入阶段,Endel 会收集用户的使用目的和基本作息情况。进入主界面后,用户可以直接点击播放键,App 会自动根据用户输入信息生成音频;也可以选择应用提供的“四大核心场景”,在专注、放松、助眠和运动的场景下,直接播放 App 为用户生成的音频。 Endel 的创始人表示,传统的音频 App 中,用户的操作流程是“进入应用-选择场景-浏览音频目录-手动播放”,现实场景发生变化时则需要用户手动切换并重复操作流程;由于 Endel 的音频支持 AI 自适应生成,使得流程简化为“打开应用-点击播放”,大大降低了用户的决策成本。而这也是 Endel 最大的差异点,以“科学”俘获用户的主要手段。 此外,Endel 在单一主界面顶部还提供了“练习”和“场景”选项。场景可理解为比四大新场景颗粒度更细一些、用户在现实生活可能碰到的更具体场景,例如快速任务、深度工作、阅读等等,被锁为付费项目;而练习,则作为用户强化“内核”的一个功能模块,不同于“四大核心场景”中以持续播放的音频为主,“练习”项目时长基本在 5 分钟以内,以“专注力”练习为例,通过人声指导和舒缓的环境音引导用户做呼吸法练习,以集中注意力。 图源Endel 如上,Endel 最大的特色,“个性化”,体现在其音频不是提前录制好的既有素材,而是 App 根据用户当下状态,由 AI 实时生成且直接就能播放,官方称之为“声景”(Soundscapes)。再往前推,用户状态则由 App 根据 2 类数据综合判定,一是 Endel 会申请读取用户手机的定位信息和“健康”指标,实时同步用户所处的环境和睡眠、心率、健身记录等数据;二是基于科学研究中人类一天的精力分布状况,实时调控音频的合成。 注:声景(Soundscape),又称声音景观,指在特定场景中被个体或群体感知、体验及理解的声音环境,强调人与声环境的互动关系。其研究突破传统噪声控制框架,关注声音资源的积极利用及心理舒适度。 声景选择、调控和状态曲线|图源Endel 为方便用户操作,在主界面顶部,Endel 提供了几种常见的声景选项,其中 Autoplay 模式是根据用户状态,在上述“四大核心场景”中做自动切换。音效的细节把控上,用户也可以在播放界面中自主调节,对“声景”的音调高低、节奏快慢以及构成元素做更加个性化的处理。 撰稿期间,笔者一直在试用 Endel,以“专注”场景为主,体验下来,Endel 确实能帮助笔者更好地进入“心流”状态。实时变化的生成体验上,笔者能感受到不同时间段音频的变化,中间没有特别突兀的转折,整体丝滑。在信息界面能清晰的看到用户定位、实时天气、活动状态及精力情况,整体的状态判定上,也基本准确。 但有时候一听就是一下午,由于笔者提前选择了“专注”场景,整体变化还是围绕着平缓的节奏展开,想听点更能刺激神经的,就需要手动切换“运动”模式。不过,这一点应该可以通过付费功能中的 Autoplay 模式解决。 用户评价|图源小红书 Endel 的副标题是“Instant ADHD Relief”(ADHD 的即时解决方案),和 Focus Friend 同样定位于 ADHD 患者,但如之前的观察来看,如今 ADHD 已经不再是一个“小众词汇”,其面向的市场也不小。 对如今的用户而言, 单纯的白噪音已经不够用了 据全球性市场研究和咨询公司 Verified Market Reports 的报告显示,2020-2025 年白噪音 App 市场规模的年复合增长率为 8%;而 2026-2033 年其市场规模年复合增长率为 9.2%。白噪音 App 市场仍存在增长空间,但相对有限。同时,从具体应用的流水表现来看,月流水大多处 1000 美元以下,如今单纯的白噪音 App 不足以吸引用户付费。 《Global White Noise Apps Market Size》 (上);传统白噪音App近一年月流水情况 (下)|图源Verified Market Reports、点点数据 注:此处“传统白噪音 App”指仅提供白噪音功能的产品,含睡眠监测、提供报告或提示功能的 App 不计入在内。后者,App 中的音频为提前生成,月流水约 15 万美元左右,上述产品多主打助眠的单一场景。 回到 Endel,官方宣传中,产品还引入了“彩色噪音”(Colored Noise)的概念,与传统的白噪音 App 做区分。概念上,“白噪音”指所有声波频率大致相同,且强度和能量密度相等的声音;“彩色噪音”指频率不同,且能量分布不均的声音,常见如柔和的雨声、风声属于粉红噪音,厚重的瀑布、海浪声属于棕色噪音。 红圈部分即白噪音,蓝色噪音高频成分多,声音 更尖锐。紫色噪音高频更强烈。|图源pcbway.com 从第三方平台可抓取到的最早数据至今的流水表现来看,相较于上述白噪音产品,Endel 的月流水几乎一直维持在 20 万美元以上的水平。其中,2022 年 11 月出现过一次小高峰;2024 年 7 月开始显著增长,后续处于波折中前进。 Endel自2021年至今的月流水变化。 据历年流水变化观察,每年1月是 Endel的流水低谷|图源点点数据 据点点数据显示的版本更新情况,Endel 在 2022 年下半年频繁更新,其中 9-10 月先后加入了 Autoplay 模式、3D 环绕音和支持实时调节声景的“专注”模式等重要功能,一系列动作下来,使其在 11 月流水首次突破 50 万美元。后续亦有推出节日活动、补充新“声景”和增添练习课程的更新,但从流水表现来看,增效不及之前明显。 2022年9-11月Endel部分功能更新情况 | 图源点点数据 时间来到 2024 年,Endel 在 5 月新增了一批练习课程,其中包括“专注力”练习,官方简介称“旨在帮助患有 ADHD、焦虑症和耳鸣的人”,开始试水 ADHD 相关功能;7 月正式更名,并将产品副标题改为“ADHD 即时解决方案”,更加聚焦“专注”领域;同年 8 月引入“有色噪声”概念,和专注类应用常见的“App 拦截”(即锁机)功能。今年 4 月,Endel 还推出了“Endel for ADHD 2.0”的音频技术更新。 从功能变化来看,“有色噪音”更像是 Endel 用来宣传的加分项,其迭代的重心还是放在了专注的相关功能上,并将 AI 实时生成的个性化动态声音作为自己的主要特色。 2024年7月Endel版本更新|图源点点数据 目前,Endel 提供 3 个月的短期订阅和年度订阅 2 种方案,分别定价 18 美元和 35 美元,免费用户可以体验“四大核心场景”的实时音频生成,订阅后享有上面提到的所有功能、多设备同步、播客推送和自定义图标等功能。此外,Endel 比较有意思的设置在于其邀请机制,用户在应用内截图,App 就会自动弹窗生成分享链接,用户分享后若有新付费用户,有机会获得半价内购优惠、周报产品折扣或者 Endel 的终身使用权。 App内订阅方案、截图后的自动 分享弹窗、邀请优惠|图源Endel 内购之外的赚钱方式 近百万月流水的 Endel,不仅避开了播客和 TTS 赛道的激烈竞争,还在 App 内购之外,找到了其他赚钱“入口”。 Endel 与 Oura、Sony 和 Amazon Echo 等不少硬件品牌有内容合作。例如与智能戒指品牌 Oura Ring 合作,当用户睡眠时,Oura Ring 的数据会触发 Endel 的助眠声景。这种模式下,一方面 Endel 可以通过向品牌提供其算法和声景授权,获取 To B 的收入;另一方面,两者协同要实现更好的效果则需要数据共享,用户数据也可以反哺 Endel 算法,并且可将硬件作为 Endel 接触潜在订阅用户的新途径。 图源 Endel 官网、digitalmusicnews.com 据 TechCrunch 报道,Endel 的开发团队来自德国柏林,成立于 2018 年,产品最初就由 AI 生成音频,但当时并没有想到 ADHD 这个用户群体。 转折发生在 2022 年,Endel 团队开展了一项用户调研,发现三大主要受众中,除了工作需要高度集中的专业白领,和苦于轮班、需要快速入眠的医护人员外,还有大量学生群体。调查发现 Covid-19 期间,由于居家时间变长,人们的注意力难以集中,用户使用“专注”模式的频率发生了明显增长,超过了原来使用最频繁的“入睡”模式。 于是,Endel决定加码专注功能,随着 ADHD 概念的普及,Endel 也将“ADHDer”作为了自己的核心用户群。同年,Endel 获得了 Waverley Capital 和 True Ventures 领投的 1500 万美元融资,进一步开发其声音技术。 Endel 在对“AI 动态声音”的技术开发之外,还和华纳音乐签订了唱片协议,并且自产品面世以来,和不少音乐人共创过音频。除了像 Grimes 这种以梦幻和赛博美学为特色的实验音乐制作人,还和格莱美得主 Sia、Miguel 等知名度较高的艺人有过合作,曲风大多走电子、迷幻类比较前卫的路线,贴合 Endel 的“AI 特性”,同时建立更大的影响力。 写在最后 Endel 在“AI+声音”的赛道中,采取了较为独特的发展策略,用“AI 动态声景”围绕细分场景构建了差异化体验。订阅音频内容的背后,其实是消费者在为“状态管理”买单。而对于“AI+”创业者而言,Endel 也提供了一个新视角,AI 与声音结合的另一种途径、可满足内容创作之外的其他需求。 同时,Endel 在发展过程中逐渐转向“专注”场景的聚焦,更容易实现差异化和算法壁垒。在此思路下,“AI+”赛道上,未来可能会有越来越多从“微场景”长出来的“Endel”。 参考资料: 1、Endel raises $15M to further develop its AI-powered sound wellness technology-TechCrunch 2、Global White Noise Apps Market Size By Purpose-based- VerifiedMarketTeports 3、Endel Inks With Warner Music: “We're the First-Ever Algorithm to Sign a Major Label Deal”-DigitalMusiNews 数据来自SimilarWeb、点点数据、Semrush、广大大等三方平台,可能与真实数据中存在一定误差,仅供参考。 本文为专栏作者授权创业邦发表,版权归原作者所有。文章系作者个人观点,不代表创业邦立场,转载请联系原作者。如有任何疑问,请联系editor@cyzone.cn。
