Microsoft Copilot has teamed up with Suno, an AI-based music creation platform to unveil a feature that allows users with no formal music creation background to generate personalized songs with just a text prompt. This is a user-friendly tool for crafting songs effortlessly.
The audio clips demonstrated on the official Suno website sounded impressive, but there’s a catch in the implementation in Copilot.
Suno’s AI-music Generation Feature Is Currently Limited to Microsoft Edge browser
The creation process is simple – users input a text prompt, and the algorithm takes over, generating fully fleshed-out songs complete with lyrics and singing voices. The versatility of the tool even allows users to create instrumental tunes if they prefer.
Microsoft Copilot provides prompt examples like “create a pop song about adventures with your family” or “make a song that captures the spirit of growing up.” The tool taps into any personal data accrued by Copilot during use, potentially resulting in songs with a highly personalized touch.

The feature has begun its rollout, with a tiered release, meaning users may need to wait a few weeks before it becomes available in their updates.
However, it’s worth noting that the new music generation feature is currently limited to the Microsoft Edge browser. To utilize the tool, users must open Edge, visit the Copilot website, log in, and ensure the Suno plugin is active under the “Plugins” tab in the top right corner. After entering a text description into Copilot, users patiently await the AI to complete the song generation.
Initial experiences with the new feature have shown promise, with Copilot generating lyrics for a popular song within about 10 minutes. However, there have been reported difficulties in generating the accompanying music. Instances have encountered, where the link to the generated song disappears immediately, leaving them with lyrics but no music. Copilot then suggested imagining the melody or humming the lyrics. Although, we are not sure if was due to any specific issue for that test or if it repeats.
The Suno add-on is gradually rolling out and will reach all users in the coming weeks. The potential extension of this feature to other browsers remains uncertain, and further updates will be monitored closely.
