Google Officially Launches Gemini AI-Powered Video Presentation App "Vids" for Creating Videos Through Simple Prompts

Google has officially launched its Gemini AI-powered video presentation application called Vids, allowing users to generate video presentations through simple prompts.

Vids integrates Gemini's generative AI capabilities. Users only need to provide prompts or documents from Google Drive, and the system will generate an initial video storyboard, including recommended scenes, scripts, and background music. Users can quickly obtain an editable draft through the "Help me create" feature, greatly simplifying the video creation process.

Vids also supports voice narration, offering either Gemini's preset AI voices or the option to record your own voice. The system includes a teleprompter feature to help users present information naturally and smoothly during recording. Additionally, users can add their own videos, screen recordings, and audio recordings to create diverse video content.

The main features of Vids include automatic insertion of stock footage, script generation, and creation of AI voice-overs without the need for personal recording. Google suggests the tool can be used to transform customer support articles into videos, create training videos, publish company announcements, and generate meeting recaps.

Currently, Google Vids has officially launched and is available to users with specific Workspace subscription plans.

Key Features of Vids:
