Create custom soundtracks with Lyria 3 in the Gemini app
Using text-based or image prompting, you can now generate custom 30 second soundtracks in Gemini. This new capability is powered by Lyria 3, Google’s most advanced music generation model yet.
The Gemini app facilitates new forms of musical expression by transforming prompts and images into custom soundtracks. A user might, for instance, turn a “welcome to the team” email into a track. Or, a student or educator could generate custom instrumentals for class presentations or projects. From funny jingles to lo-fi beats, just describe what you want to hear and let Gemini handle the rest.

- End users: End users who have access to the Gemini app will receive access to Lyria 3 automatically. To get started, select “Create music” from the tools menu.
