What Napster is
Napster brings together AI agents for music creation, personal sessions, business websites, and developer applications. Napster App offers nine music agents that let users shape lyrics, tempo, and feel, make cover art, and share songs. It also includes conversational AI audiobooks, meditation and wellness sessions, and AI-generated music, stories, and soundscapes. Napster for Mac adds video conversations and screen sharing, while its agents create editable websites, plans, designs, and code. For businesses, Napster Agent crawls a website to build product knowledge, then can be added with one line of code to guide visitors and help convert them. It connects with Shopify and WooCommerce. The API supports video, audio, and telephony agents through REST APIs, a Web SDK, WebRTC, and WebSockets; using it requires access to the website's code. The API is available through Microsoft Marketplace and works with Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, and tools supporting Agent Skills. Napster says its model-agnostic platform is built on GPT, Gemini, and Claude. It states that it is SOC 2 Type II compliant and annually audited, encrypts stored data with AES and data in transit with TLS 1.2+, and does not use user data to train models, share it, or sell it. The service is intended for users aged 18 and over, who confirm their age at signup.
Who it suits
Napster may suit people looking for AI-supported music creation, personal listening and wellness sessions, or editable creative artifacts on Mac.
