Gemini can now make you thirty seconds of music based on prompts or photos, and will even use Nano Banana for custom art for it.
They say the feature is for fun and games, and very specific music requests that can be personal, like making a tune about your mum’s home cooked plantains.
Gemini also gives you the ability to adjust tempo, vocal styles and provide precise lyrics.
On their launch page, they also mention that this kind of music is more or less tailor made for making custom music to go with YouTube Shorts.
Mindful of copyright
Lyria 3 is «designed for original expression, not for mimicking existing artists,» Google says, and claims they have been very mindful of copyrights while developing it.
If you prompt for a specific artist, Lyria will take it as inspiration and make a track that «shares a similar style or mood.»
Lyria is rolling out now to Gemini users 18 or older in English, German, Spanish, French, Hindi, Japanese, Korean and Portuguese, with «plans to expand quality and coverage of more languages.» Google AI Plus, Pro and Ultra will enjoy higher limits.
