Questions
Does the AI write songs for me?
No. The goal is critique and revision support, not replacing the writer. You keep authorship while getting a clearer diagnosis of what to improve.
Can beginners use it?
Yes. The drills start with concrete decisions like rhyme, stress, images, and sections before moving into advanced harmonic and structural choices.
