What Udio does
Udio is an AI music generator that writes full songs, with vocals, from a text description. You can extend, remix and inpaint tracks, upload your own audio to transform it, use existing songs as a style reference, and edit music and lyrics. Finished songs can be published to Udio's community, where you can follow other creators. A free plan gives a small daily credit allowance; paid plans raise limits and add editing tools.
