Overview
- Google announced Thursday that it is rolling Gemini Omni and personal avatars into Google Vids, making the features live for Google AI Pro and Ultra subscribers and eligible Google Workspace business customers.
- Gemini Omni generates and edits videos from natural‑language prompts plus image references and lets users make step‑by‑step conversational edits so changes do not require starting over.
- Personal avatars are built from a user’s selfie and a short voice recording and will deliver typed scripts in the user’s likeness; avatars are tied to the creator’s Google Account and limited to users 18 and older in supported regions.
- Every clip produced by these tools contains an invisible SynthID digital watermark and the avatar flow is restricted by account, age and region controls to help verify provenance and limit misuse.
- The moves position Google Vids closer to standalone AI video platforms like HeyGen and Synthesia and could shift Vids from a presentation aid into a wider creator and business video toolset.
