Google announced the launch of Lyria 3, an advanced artificial intelligence model for music creation from Google DeepMind, which integrates directly into the Gemini app. The new tool allows users to turn text descriptions, images or videos into original 30-second music clips, including melody and lyrics, within just seconds. The model is currently available in English and additional languages, while a beta version in Hebrew was launched simultaneously.
The new service enables extensive creative control, including the selection of musical genre, vocal style and rhythm. Unlike previous tools, Lyria 3 is capable of independently formulating the song lyrics based on the prompt entered by the user. The process is carried out through the "Tools" tab in the app, where users can describe the requested creation or upload a visual file that will serve as inspiration for the composition. Every music track produced by the system is accompanied by a "cover" image that is automatically generated by the Nano Banana model.
At Google, they emphasize that the model was developed with the intention of enabling original self-expression and not for the purpose of imitating existing artists. The system includes filters that prevent the creation of exact copies of protected works, and in cases where the name of a specific artist is entered, the artificial intelligence will treat it as general stylistic inspiration only. In addition, the company has embedded SynthID technology – a hidden watermark that makes it possible to identify that the content was created using AI tools – within the audio files, thereby increasing the transparency and reliability of the digital outputs.
The new tool is also expected to expand to content creators on the YouTube platform through the Dream Track feature, which will assist in creating soundtracks and transition clips for Shorts videos. The service is available to users over the age of 18, while Google AI Plus, Pro and Ultra subscribers will enjoy a higher daily quota of track creation. The company notes that the development was carried out in cooperation with the music industry in order to preserve copyrights and ensure responsible use of the technology.
