Udio

Udio is a leading US-based generative AI music platform. By delivering your music to Udio, you allow them to use your music for training their models, without granting rights to your name, image, voice, or likeness, which remain fully reserved. Delivery is made on licensed, commercial terms (similar to agreements made between Udio and some of the major record companies), supporting the principle that AI training on copyrighted material requires consent and compensation.

Udio is an AI music creation platform launched in 2024, founded by a team of AI researchers and technologists (including alumni of Google DeepMind). Its website, udio.com, allows users to generate songs by entering text prompts that specify topic, genre, mood, and other descriptors, which the model transforms into full tracks. The company positions itself as artist-friendly and built its technology with input from professional musicians. Udio operates on a freemium model, offering free generations with limits and paid subscription tiers for higher usage and commercial rights. The company has signed licensing agreements with rights holders to train its models on properly cleared catalogue.

The service may become a "walled garden" in the near future, severely restricting free use and export of generated audio, instead allowing its sharing strictly within a controlled environment or app.
