Google has rolled out a new AI-driven music creation tool inside its Gemini artificial intelligence platform, letting users generate short original songs from simple prompts. The feature is powered by the company’s latest music model, Lyria 3, which can turn text, photos or videos into 30-second tracks complete with instrumentals, vocals and even lyrics.
Designed to be playful and expressive rather than a professional production suite, the tool works in the Gemini app and is available to users aged 18 and over. It lets people describe a vibe, genre or mood and instantly hear a custom soundtrack, along with AI-generated cover art created by Google’s Nano Banana model.
To promote trust and transparency, all AI-created music is embedded with SynthID, a watermark that signals the content’s AI origin and can be verified within Gemini. This comes as other streaming services work to manage AI-generated music on their platforms.
According to Bloomberg, the move builds on a broader push by tech companies into generative music tools as Google and Apple are both adding music-focused AI features to their products, reflecting growing interest in creative AI outside text and image generation.
With growing discontent among music industry professionals, who claim that AI tech companies are using their samples while disobeying copyrights. As last year was marked by many protests related to AI tools in creative industries, big companies will have to be very careful about using music samples from other artists.
