What is Udio?
Udio is an AI music generator that turns a text description into a complete song with vocals and instruments. You can extend, inpaint and remix tracks, edit lyrics, use musical style references and publish songs to a community feed. It runs in the browser and has an iOS app, with free and paid credit plans.
Writing, performing and producing even a short song takes skills and gear most people do not have. Here you describe a mood, genre or occasion, such as a lo-fi track for meditation or a birthday song, and get finished audio in seconds. Musicians can also upload their own audio and use the editing tools as part of a production process, while listeners browse and follow creators in the built-in community.
