At the Microsoft Building AI Companions for India event in Bengaluru on 6th November, RaagaTrippin’, India’s premier bollywood all-vocal acapella band, showcased a unique performance using the power of Microsoft Copilot.
The band took some keywords from the audience, which included songs from the 1980s and rock, to generate new lyrics of Queen’s We Will Rock You song. The lyrics were generated in the same meter and rhythm as the original song by Queen.
The band performed the song live on stage with the generated lyrics and the audience enjoyed it extensively.
The band announced on stage that Copilot is now their sixth band member.
Mustafa Suleyman, CEO of Microsoft AI, was also part of the event, which was his first visit to India. He highlighted throughout his session how Copilot is becoming a great companion, and in many cases a family member for a lot of people.
RaagaTrippin’ is a Mumbai-based Indian a cappella group made up of six vocalists. Established in May 2012, they primarily create covers of well-known Bollywood songs and Western pop music, often blending them into medleys.
Microsoft Building AI Companions for India event was held for Microsoft to showcase the prowess of its AI Copilot, which is now available in India, including a chatbot on WhatsApp.
Microsoft recently launched an updated version of Copilot, enabling users to interact with Copilots in real-time, shifting human-computer interaction to a new level. Another feature, Copilot Daily, introduced in October in select countries, provides users with a curated news experience to start their day.
Last year, the Bengaluru-based Indian-Folk Rock band, Swarathma, was live at Cypher 2023. At the biggest AI conference, the band decided to generate lyrics of a song on the spot with ChatGPT, and started singing it, enchanting the audience.
