Frequently asked questions

What is Daydream?
Daydream is an AI music generator you chat with. Tell it what you want in plain words and the song starts playing. Then keep talking to change it as it goes: looser drums, a different bass, strings, a darker mood. You hear every change right away, so you never wait for a finished file and start over.
How do I make a song with Daydream?
Tell it what you want in the box at the top of this page, like “an epic boss fight theme with drums and brass”, and send it. Studio opens with your words as the first message and makes the song as five parts (drums, bass, guitar, keys and other). Keep chatting to change it, like “make the drums looser” or “slower and darker”. Add a track you started, a chord chart, or a picture (a photo of a chord chart, lyrics or a mood) and the song is made around it. Download the mix or every stem when it sounds right.
Can Daydream make sound effects?
Yes, in Daydream's sound effect generator (https://gen.daydream.live/sound-effect-generator), and through the API, the MCP server and the Daydream app in ChatGPT. Describe a sound with no music in it, like footsteps on gravel or a sword hitting a shield, and it comes back as a sound effect up to 30 seconds long, cleared for commercial use, at the price of a song.
Do I need music experience?
No. Describe what you hear in your head in everyday words. If you do play, bring in your own part and the other parts are made around it.
Is Daydream free?
Yes, it's free to start, with no account needed. A free account gets 5 songs and about 20 minutes of Studio every month, with unlimited MP3 downloads and 3 stem downloads. After that, credits come in packs from $3, up to 30% off on bigger ones: a song is 5¢, an hour of Studio $1.50, and pack credits never expire. Any pack unlocks unlimited downloads, WAV and stems.
Can I use the music commercially?
Yes. Everything you make is cleared for personal or commercial use, Free included: put it in a video, release it, play it live.
How is Daydream different from other AI music generators?
Most AI music generators work like a vending machine: type a prompt, wait, and judge what comes back. Daydream plays while you shape it. Change a part and you hear the change right away, so making a song feels like playing with a band rather than placing an order.
Can it sound like me?
Soon. Style training is in the works for Studio: train a Style on your own tracks, and the song comes out in your sound. Your audio trains only your own Style, which stays private unless you publish it.
Can I use Daydream in ChatGPT, Claude or my own code?
Yes. Add the Daydream app in ChatGPT (https://chatgpt.com/plugins/plugin_asdk_app_6ada33e71edc8191a47e362e40f5aba0), or connect Claude to https://gen.daydream.live/mcp. From code, use the API: https://gen.daydream.live/docs. An agent with a wallet can pay per song, with no account: https://daydream.live/for-agents.
Does Daydream make vocals or lyrics?
Not yet. Daydream makes instrumental music: beats, grooves, scores and textures. Bring your own vocal into Studio and the other parts are made around it.
