Gemini app expands tools, now generates music alongside images and video
Since launching the Gemini app, we've built tools to encourage creative expression through images and video. Today, we're taking the next step: custom music generation.
These models are not artists. They are hyper-capable assistants for a very specific type of person. That person has an idea but lacks the technical skill or equipment to realize it.
This fills the gap. You can now turn a photograph of a city street into a soundtrack. You can make that stupid joke you told your friend into a polished, thirty-second track.
The value isn’t in the generated output. It’s in the frictionless path from thought to thing. We are all just curators of prompts now, hoping the machine catches our drift.

What creative tools are now available in the Gemini app?
The Gemini app now offers music generation alongside existing image and video creation tools. This expansion allows users to create custom musical compositions through the Lyria 3 model, broadening the app's creative expression capabilities beyond visual media.
What makes the Lyria 3 music generation feature unique?
The Lyria 3 model enables users to create music through flexible input methods like text prompts or photo uploads. Unlike traditional music creation tools, this AI-powered feature can generate unique musical compositions quickly, potentially opening up new avenues for creative expression.
