Udio's category is text-to-music: describe a song, get one back, vocals included. generate_music does that same underlying job inside Versely, but the track comes out of the same studio that's generating or editing the video, voiceover and captions it ends up under — so the finished song doesn't have to be exported and re-imported anywhere to become part of a video.
The tools around that song — lyrics, extensions, covers, stems, sound effects — are below.
A full song from a prompt, or your own lyrics first
generate_music produces a complete track — vocals, instruments and mastering — from a genre, mood and tempo description. For anyone who wants to see (and edit) the words before spending a generation on the full audio, generate_lyrics writes standalone lyric text first; paste the approved lyrics into generate_music once they read right.
Not quite right? Extend or reinterpret it
extend_music continues a previously generated track from a chosen point rather than starting a new song from scratch — the fix for a track that fades out before a video's runtime ends. cover_music takes a different route: it reinterprets an existing song (yours, or a prior generation) in a new style or arrangement — an acoustic version of an upbeat original, for instance — without writing a new composition.
Sound effects and stems, not just songs
generate_sound_effect produces whooshes, risers, footsteps and ambience from a text description — the same underlying audio toolkit as the music tools, for the moments a scene needs a sound rather than a score. separate_music_vocals splits a generated track into vocal and instrumental stems, useful for a karaoke-style cut or pulling just the instrumental bed.
The track lands on the video without leaving the app
attach_audio_to_video mixes a finished track under a video's existing audio or replaces it outright, and create_music_video renders a straightforward waveform/visualizer video directly from a generated song — the fastest way to turn an audio-only track into something postable.
How it works
1. Describe the song (or write the lyrics first)
Genre, mood, tempo and instruments — or draft and review the lyrics separately before committing to a full generation.
2. Generate
generate_music produces the complete track, vocals and instruments included.
3. Extend, cover or split it if the job needs it
Continue a track that's too short, reinterpret it in a new style, or pull clean stems.
4. Attach it to video, or render one from the track
Mix or replace a video's audio with the finished song, or generate a quick visualizer video straight from it.

Frequently asked questions
How does Versely compare to Udio?+
Versely generates full songs from a text prompt through generate_music — the same core job — plus generate_lyrics to review the words first, extend_music and cover_music to continue or reinterpret a track, and generate_sound_effect for the sound-design layer around it. The song is generated inside the same app that's making or editing the video it's attached to, on one credit balance — attach_audio_to_video or create_music_video is how it lands on that video without an export step.
Can I write my own lyrics before committing to a full song?+
Yes — generate_lyrics returns standalone lyric text you can review and edit, then paste into generate_music to produce the actual track.
Can a track be made longer or reinterpreted in a new style?+
Yes — extend_music continues a generated track from a chosen point, and cover_music reinterprets an existing song in a new arrangement without writing a new composition.
Does Versely generate sound effects too, or just music?+
Both — generate_sound_effect produces whooshes, risers, footsteps and ambience from a text description, using the same underlying audio toolkit as the music tools.
