Microsoft collaborates with Suno to bring personalized AI music creation through Copilot

2023-12-20

Microsoft has partnered with leading AI music startup Suno to bring users seamless and personalized song creation capabilities through its AI programming assistant, Copilot. With this integration, anyone can now transform their ideas into complete audio compositions with lyrics, instruments, and vocals, without the need for music experience or professional knowledge.

Suno has been at the forefront of AI-generated music, using advanced machine learning models to create full songs from just a single text prompt. However, until now, you had to use Discord to collaborate with Suno in song creation. By leveraging Suno's groundbreaking platform, Microsoft is putting these complex tools into the hands of everyday users.

Copilot users can now realize their musical visions and transform thoughts and concepts into customized melodies. According to Microsoft, this collaboration will "open up new horizons for creativity and fun, making music creation accessible to everyone."

With the Suno plugin available on Copilot, users can generate songs of different genres using natural language prompts.

First, users simply enable the Suno extension in Copilot and input a text prompt, such as "Create a lively hip-hop song about summer fun." Suno's AI will then generate a complete composition that captures the desired theme.

This simplicity allows anyone to explore their musical ideas using Copilot and Suno as creative partners. Songs can be made just for fun or polished into attention-grabbing pieces.

Based in Cambridge, Massachusetts, Suno is composed of a small team of musicians and AI experts. Their backgrounds include experience working at tech giants like Meta, TikTok, and Kensho. This diverse expertise drives their mission to build a future where music creation is accessible to everyone.

While AI music creation is still in its nascent stage, tools like Suno foreshadow a future where melodies and rhythms can be obtained on demand. As these models continue to improve, the barriers between creative ideation and realization may dissolve in the realm of creativity.

For now, Copilot users have unlocked a fast track to instant song production through this collaboration. This partnership offers an early glimpse into the artistic potential rapidly unlocked by AI. Soon, creating more music may only require a prompt. The rollout of this experience will gradually expand in the coming weeks.
