Text-to-Sample, Locally on Your Mac
Deai is an AI sample generator that runs as a VST3 plugin inside your DAW. Describe the sound you want, a dusty drum break, a gospel choir, a future bass chord stab, and Deai generates a new royalty-free sample in seconds. Every sample is unique: no crate digging, no credits, no overused packs.
Generation happens 100% on your Mac with the Magenta RealTime 2 model running on Apple Silicon. No cloud, no account, no subscription. Audition the result, then drag it straight onto a track as a WAV.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is Deai?
Deai is a text-to-sample plugin (VST3 and AU) for macOS. You type a prompt such as "melancholic piano phrase" and it generates an audio sample you can drag directly into your DAW as a WAV file.
Does Deai work offline?
Yes. Generation runs entirely on your Mac using the Magenta RealTime 2 model on MLX. Nothing is uploaded, no account is needed, and it works without an internet connection.
Which DAWs are supported?
Deai works in any macOS DAW that hosts VST3 or Audio Unit (AU) plugins: Logic Pro, GarageBand, Ableton Live, FL Studio, Cubase, Studio One, Bitwig Studio, REAPER, and more. Both formats are included in one installer.
Can I use the generated samples commercially?
Yes. You own the samples you generate. Commercial use is allowed and no attribution is required. You are responsible for ensuring outputs do not infringe third-party rights.
How much does Deai cost?
The download is free and includes 10 generations with full export. A one-time $49 license unlocks unlimited generation on up to 5 Macs. There is no subscription.
What are the system requirements?
macOS 14 or later on Apple Silicon (M1 or newer). The installer is about 3.3 GB because the AI model is embedded in the plugin.
How is Deai different from a sample pack subscription?
Sample packs and subscription libraries give you a fixed catalog that thousands of other producers also use. Deai generates a new sample from your prompt every time, so the sound is yours alone, with no recurring fee.
