Tools & capabilities
SongUp AI tools 3
find_songsFinds ready-made AI songs from the SongUp AI library and returns each one with a direct link to its audio (MP3). Use it when the user wants to hear AI songs or example songs in a language, genre, mood or for an occasion (for example "an Arabic love song", "Hindi lo-fi", "upbeat birthday pop"). Songs are pre-made library tracks, not made from the user's own words; for a song from their own idea use start_custom_song.start_custom_songPrepares a link that opens the SongUp AI song maker on songupai.com with the user's song idea already filled in, so they can turn it into a full song with vocals there. Use it when the user wants a song made from their own idea, story, names or lyrics (birthday, anniversary, love song, etc.). Nothing is created or charged by this tool; the song is made on songupai.com, which needs a free account.find_audio_toolFinds the SongUp AI browser audio tool for a task the user describes, such as splitting a song into vocals and music, removing vocals for karaoke, making a mashup of two songs, removing background noise, mastering a track, finding chords, converting audio to MIDI, auto-tune or editing audio. Returns the matching tools with what each one does and a link to open it on songupai.com, where the user uploads their audio. This tool does not process audio itself.
