Suno AI, or simply Suno, is a generative artificial intelligence music creation program designed to generate realistic songs that combine vocals and instrumentation.[1] It has been widely available since December 20, 2023, after the launch of a web application and a partnership with Microsoft, which included Suno as a plugin in Microsoft Copilot.[2]

The program operates by matching songs to text prompts provided by users. Suno does not disclose the dataset used to train its artificial intelligence but claims it has been safeguarded against plagiarism and copyright concerns.[1]

Suno was founded by four people: Michael Shulman, Georg Kucsko, Martin Camacho, and Keenan Freyberg. They all worked for Kensho, an AI startup, before starting their own company in Cambridge, Massachusetts.[3]

In April 2023, Suno released their open-source text-to-speech and audio model called "Bark" on GitHub and Hugging Face, under the MIT License.[4][5] On March 21, 2024, Suno released its v3 version for all users.[6] The new version allows users to create 2-minute songs using a free account.[7]
