How do I create AI songs using Microsoft Copilot?

The Microsoft Copilot isn't capable enough to do this. So you have to download a plugin called Suno in order to perform this action.

• Microsoft partnered with Suno to integrate Suno's capabilities into Microsoft Copilot.

• The plugin allows you to create personalized songs with simple prompts

• You can toggle the plugin on, enter a prompt (e.g., "Create a song about a bee"), and Copilot will generate a song based on the prompt.

• The process takes a few seconds to a minute, depending on the complexity of the request, and provides you with a generated song that can be listened to and copied for future reference.

• There's a privacy note: song requests are sent to Suno and may contain sensitive data, so users concerned about privacy can toggle the plugin off. Users are encouraged to try the plugin and share their experiences in the comments
