Udio is a generative AI music platform founded by ex-Google DeepMind researchers that lets users create full songs with vocals and instrumentation from text prompts. After backlash from major labels, Udio settled a copyright lawsuit with Universal Music Group in October 2025 and is pivoting toward licensed-catalog training.
