The ElevenLabs AI music generator turns your ideas into 3-minute songs

ElevenLabs trades the microphone for a mixing board, and the AI music wars officially heat up.

ElevenLabs spent years perfecting the art of AI-generated voices, and now it has put its experience into a new iOS app that generates original songs from text prompts. It wasn’t so long ago when everyone was learning how to generate images by writing descriptive and elaborate text prompts, and yet, here we are. 

ElevenLabs catches up with Google’s Lyria 3 Pro

While ElevenLabs entering into the AI music generation market could be a coincidence, the timing sure isn’t. Most recently, Google added music generation (30-second tracks) to Gemini using Lyria 3, followed by the launch of Lyria 3 Pro on March 25, 2026, which can generate tracks up to 180 seconds long with much better creative control.

It looks like the two companies are racing to secure the lead in the AI music ear. Anyways, coming back to ElevenMusic, it lands on the App Store as a direct competitor to established AI music platforms. Using the app, you can generate up to seven free songs in a day. 

Using text prompts, you can specify the mood (happy, sad, romantic, etc.), length, lyrical content, and writing style for the song. If you need some inspiration, you can also listen to and, more importantly, remix the tracks created by other users (within the same daily data limit).

A $9.99 a month Pro subscription increases the daily quota

The ElevenMusic app also includes curated live stations, mood-based playlists (including Focus, Chill, Cosmic, and Late Night), and familiar chart-style sections that seem to be borrowed straight from Spotify’s playbook. 

If you’re a budding music creator, producer, or hardcore AI or music enthusiast, you can get the ElevenMusic Pro subscription for $9.99 per month (or $95.90 annually). The Pro subscription offers up to 500 tracks per month, along with 500GB of storage, and access to every available style and mode in the app. 

Against established U.S. AI music platforms like Suno and Udio, ElevenMusic’s edge lies in its roots in voice AI.

The best new ChatGPT feature is one most people will never use

For years, the biggest conversation around AI has been what these tools can do. They can browse the web, analyze documents, connect to your apps, conduct research, and increasingly act on your behalf. But as AI systems become more capable, another question has become harder to ignore: what happens when an AI assistant is tricked into handing over information it shouldn’t?

OpenAI’s new Lockdown Mode is its latest answer to that problem. Available across all ChatGPT account types, Lockdown Mode is an optional security setting designed for people and organizations handling sensitive information. The trade-off is that you get stronger protection against certain forms of data theft, but you lose access to some of ChatGPT’s most powerful features.

An app that lets anyone control a robot from their phone, no coding required
Sounds cool, right? Forget doomscrolling, now your phone can operate a robot arm instead

A team of researchers at Georgia Tech has developed a new smartphone-based system that could dramatically simplify how people interact with robots. Called COBALT, the platform allows users with little to no computing experience to remotely control robot arms from virtually anywhere in the world using just a phone and an internet connection.

The project, developed at Georgia Tech’s People, AI & Robotics (PAIR) Lab, transforms smartphones into motion controllers for robotic arms. Users simply move their phones in different directions, and the robot mirrors those movements in real time. Basic tasks such as grabbing, moving, and releasing objects can be performed through simple on-screen controls, making the experience feel more like playing a mobile game than operating industrial machinery.

Online learning platform Coursera is taking a page straight out of TikTok’s playbook. The company has launched a new AI-powered feed designed to serve short-form educational content in a scrollable, personalized format, signaling a major shift in how digital learning platforms may try to keep users engaged.

The feature introduces bite-sized video lessons, clips, and explainers curated through artificial intelligence based on a user’s interests, learning habits, career goals, and previous course activity. Instead of committing to hour-long lectures or full certification programs upfront, users can now discover short educational snippets designed to make learning feel more casual, accessible, and addictive.
