By Cognenza editorial team · Updated · 3 min read · Sources cited

A birthday song with your mum’s name, music for the holiday video or your podcast jingle. Gemini does it with Lyria, Google’s music model.

Requirements

According to the official help: 18 or over, signed in with a personal account (or supported work or school account) and Gemini activity on. There are track limits; you’ll be notified when you reach them.

Step by step

  1. Go to gemini.google.com or open the app.
  2. In the text box, open tools and choose Create music.
  3. Optional: upload a photo or video for context.
  4. Write your prompt: start with “create” or “compose”, give genre, mood, instruments and theme. For a full track, the help says to switch the model to Pro.
  5. Download as MP3 or as a video with cover art, or share the link.

Google’s blog explains that Lyria 3 Pro creates longer tracks with verses and choruses, starting with paid subscribers.

Rights and transparency

  • Tracks carry SynthID, Google’s invisible watermark, and the model is designed not to mimic artists.
  • Spain’s Intellectual Property Law treats as author the natural person who creates the work: if you plan to register or sell AI-generated music, get advice first.
  • If you publish it, say it’s AI-made: it’s honest and avoids confusion (deepfakes).
