What SongIntent is
SongIntent is a web-based songwriting service that pairs AI assistance with creator control over lyrics and edits. Writers can begin with an idea, lyric, flow, beat, or reference and choose Quick Create, Writer’s Room, Cadence Capture, or Reference DNA. AI suggestions enter a lyric only when the creator selects them, and manual writing remains available after AI limits. It supports rap and hip-hop, pop, R&B, country, and genre blends, with genre-specific structure and performance guidance. Reference DNA examines cadence, rhyme, flow, phrase shape, approximate melody movement, hooks, repetition, structure, transitions, and energy, showing confidence for each layer. Hear Your Song sends approved lyrics and production choices for audio generation, then verifies the result and saves one selected candidate to My Songs. Projects are private by default; lyrics and recordings are not used to train SongIntent models without separate opt-in. Exports include text, LRC, SRT, and DAW markers.
