Alphabet Inc.’s Google and Apple Inc. are adding music-focused generative artificial intelligence features to their core consumer apps, underscoring how advanced AI tools are moving into mainstream use.

Google’s Gemini AI assistant can now create 30-second music tracks based on text, photos or video uploaded by users using Google DeepMind’s latest Lyria 3 model, the company said in a blog post on Wednesday. The feature, which can generate custom lyrics or purely instrumental audio, will be available to users over the age of 18 in multiple languages. It is being rolled out on the desktop version of Gemini and will appear in the mobile app over the next few days, the company said.
