Microsoft Copilot, Microsoft’s AI-powered chatbot, can now compose songs thanks to an integration with gen AI music app Suno.
From a single sentence, Suno can generate complete songs — including lyrics, instrumentals and singing voices.
Meta has published several of its experiments with AI music generation.
Stability AI’s own gen AI audio lead quit after saying that gen AI “exploits creators,” and the Grammys have banned fully AI-generated song from consideration for awards.
Clarity on the legal status of gen AI music may arrive soon — if not from court decisions.
“India is a massive, massive country with so many diverse needs,” said Miriam Karthika, VP for Google Maps Experience, at the event.
This India-first capability, introduced for developers on Google Maps Platform earlier this year, will be available across over 75 Indian cities.
Apart from launching the global features in India, Google partnered with India’s Open Network for Digital Commerce (ONDC) and mobility app Namma Yatri to provide metro schedules and bookings to users directly through Google Maps.
In July last year, Google introduced Street View in India six years after the feature was banned in the country over security concerns.
Today, over 50 million users are viewing Street View in the country, Google said.
Apple has started experimenting a feature on the App Store that allows developers to offer “contingent pricing” for subscriptions.
That means developers can club subscriptions for two apps at a discounted price.
While the feature is in the test phase, Apple said developers can promote this discount on off-platform marketing channels, according to 9to5Mac.
DMA asks app distribution platforms such as Apple’s App Store and Google’s Play Store to allow users to install apps through alternative ways.
Apple’s marketing language on this feature indicates that the App Store can handle complex processing of payments and subscriptions even when multiple apps and developers are involved.
Instagram launched a new feature where you can create customized “Add Yours” templates with GIFs, images and text, allowing you to make your own meme-able Stories for followers to participate in.
To create an Add Yours template, start uploading a Story and add elements like a GIF, custom text or an image from the gallery.
Then tap on the “Add Yours Templates” sticker and select which elements you want to pin.
Now anyone can take an Add Yours prompt and add their own spin to it, allowing for more creative expression and collaboration.
Similarly, Instagram introduced a “template browser” for Reels in July, letting you discover and customize pre-made templates to add to your videos.
Earlier this fall, Spotify was found to be developing a new feature that would allow its streaming app users to create playlists using AI technology and prompts.
Now, that “AI playlists” feature has been spotted in the wild, as part of a test that to see how users will respond to AI-driven playlist creation.
Here, a pop-up menu appears and the AI playlist feature is a new option underneath the existing “Playlist” and “Blend” options.
The feature’s description reads “Turn your ideas into playlists using AI” and notes that it’s currently only available in English.
It remains to be seen if and when the new AI feature goes live to the public.
Instagram is launching the ability for users to post video Notes, the company announced on Wednesday.
Up until now, you could only post text or emojis to your status update.
Now, you can post a two-second looping video Note that will be visible to your mutual followers or Close Friends for 24 hours.
Another differentiator between video Notes and video Stories is that you can only post content from your front-facing camera when sharing video Notes.
Plus, you have to capture the content in the app when posting a video Note, which means that you can’t upload a video from your phone’s camera gallery.
