OpenAI Is Building a New System Able to Generate Music Using Text and Voice Prompts

OpenAI is making a ne͏w smart system that can create whole music pieces from easy text notes and brief voice hints. The work seeks to make making music quicker, easier to get, and better mixed into daily online tasks. Although the tool isn’t made just for skilled people, its possible uses — marketing for musicians, content creating, teaching, and even ads for musicians — might change how sound is made in lots of fields.

As per first info shared by Finway, the system will let users make music backgrounds for videos, create support for sung voices, and form brand new songs without needing high-level making skills. By joining text guides with voice cues, the tool is thought to understand sound, style, feel, mood and instruments at a deeper level than older audio models. 

According to early details shared by Finway, the system will allow users to generate musical backgrounds for videos, build accompaniment for recorded vocals, and create entirely new compositions without needing advanced production skills. By combining text instructions with vocal prompts, the tool is expected to interpret tone, style, texture, emotion, and instrumentation at a deeper level than previous audio models. This positions it as a strong addition to OpenAI’s broader work in generative sound technologies.

Collaboration With Juilliard Students and Data Preparation

To lift the quality of the model, OpenAI has teamed up with students from a Juilliard School, one of more respected music schools in the world. Their job is to mark musical scores and give detailed talks about harmony structure and co͏mposition. This helps the model understand how real musical pieces are built.

Early testing suggests that the tool will support actions such as:

• Adding custom music to existing videos;
• Generating guitar or piano accompaniment for a vocal recording;
• Remixing a melody into different musical styles.

These functions could be useful for creators working in video editing, podcasts, advertising, education, and digital media.

Competition in the AI Music Landscape

Although OpenAI previously experimented with audio generation, the company has more recently focused on speech-based technologies like voice synthesis and real-time conversation models. Re-entering the music field puts it in direct competition with Google’s music projects and Suno, a fast-growing startup that has integrated its model into Microsoft Copilot.

OpenAI

They’re working on music tools that respond to both text and voice prompts. It’s still in development, but there’s a good chance it could plug straight into ChatGPT or even Sora — meaning one creative ecosystem for writing, visuals, and sound.

Google

Google’s been deep in the lab with some of the most advanced text-to-music research out there. Think of them as the “long-game scientists” of AI audio — tons of research muscle, even if the tools aren’t always front-and-center for artists yet.

Suno

Suno is the most “plug-and-play” option right now — full text-to-music generation that’s already rolled into Microsoft Copilot. Instant access, easy workflow, and great for musicians who want fast results without a big learning curve.

Analysts believe that if OpenAI successfully combines its text, audio, and reasoning models, the result could be a powerful competitor that expands the boundaries of AI-generated music.

What Remains Unknown

OpenAI has not yet said if the music maker will come out as a single item or be part of ChatGPT or Sora. The time when it will come is still not clear, and the company has not shared info about licenses, who owns rights, or trade rules — important questions in any system that makes fake music.

Old reports say that OpenAI is looking into a few business paths beyond making fun tools, like possible uses for banks and company automation. The step back into music creation shows the firm is still broadening its options and trying out new types of AI-based creativity.

If growth moves as planned, OpenAI's new music tool might turn into one of the biggest helps to the rising world of making sounds, aiding makers, builders, and companies make high-quality noise with unmat͏ched ease.
