Thanks to a new team-up with Suno, a music creation platform, Microsoft Copilot can now make shorts songs with just a simple text request. The songs it creates have not only music but also complete lyrics and real singing voices.

Microsoft says you don’t have to be good at making music already you just need an idea, if this reminds you of something, it’s because Meta and Google also Have similar tech: MusicGen and instrument Playground. They work similar, but they use their own AI system instead of an outside one.
How to use the Suno plugin
To use this cool thing, start be opening Microsoft Edge, because this new update only works with that web browser. Then, go to the Copilot website, log in, and click on the Plugin tab in the top right corner. Make sure Suno is turned on.
Once everything’s set up, type a message into Copilot and wait for a bit. The AI takes some time to come up with something based on what you wrote. It took about ten minutes for Copilot to create lyrics for a pop song about going on a family adventure. Oddly, we didn’t get any sound though.
Copilot said it gave us a web link to Suno’s site to hear the song, but the link vanished after it finished. We tried asking Copilot to make another song, but this time it only gave us words. When we asked about music Copilot told us to imagine the tune or sing it ourselves.
This is the first time we seen a music music-making AI just not make any sound
Effective when it operates properly
Next, we checked out Suno’s website to see what the technology can do. The sound quality was pretty good. The singing was surprisingly nice, although not perfect. It’s not completely confusing like google’s instrument Playground, but it’s not super clear either.
We could not figure out how skilled Copilot is at making music, but if it’s anything like the regular Suno model, It can create better content than what MusicGen or instruments Playground can make.
The Suno plugin is being released gradually, over the next few weeks. We don’t know if Microsoft plans to make this feature work with other web browsers. We asked them about it and also inquired about the issue we found. We really wanted to hear music.
