What is suno?
Suno refers to Suno AI, the generative music service that creates full songs with vocals, lyrics and instruments from a text prompt, used through its website and app. People search it to make songs, compare plans and check how it stands against Udio and other AI music tools, and to follow its licensing deals with record labels. In practice the users are hobbyists, content creators who need background music and musicians sketching ideas. It is one company's product, but it leads a fast-growing category that opens room for tools, templates and services around AI music.
