Google has launched Google Vids, an AI-driven video creation application designed for professional use.
Google Vids, is a new AI-powered video creation app for work. Vids is your video, writing, production, and editing assistant, all in one. It can generate a storyboard that you can easily edit, and after choosing a style, it pieces together your first draft with suggested scenes from stock videos, images, and background music. It can also help you land your message with the right voiceover — either choosing from one of our preset voiceovers, or using your own.
Google stated that More than 15 years ago, it introduced the first-ever cloud-native text editors in Docs, Sheets, and Slides and now they’re bringing the same magic of real-time collaboration to video, allowing people everywhere to tap into immersive storytelling at work.
The feature which will be released to Workspace Labs in June is integrated with Google’s suite of productivity tools like Docs, Sheets, and Slides, and it offers a user-friendly interface and secure collaboration features, empowering users to collaborate and share projects seamlessly from their browsers.
Vids will leverages advanced AI technology to generate customizable storyboards that users can easily modify to suit their needs. Upon selecting a preferred style, Vids intelligently assembles initial drafts by recommending scenes from an extensive library of stock videos, images, and background music.
Its AI features like Take Notes for me (now in preview) let you drop the pen and lean into the conversation instead of taking notes. Translate for Me (coming in June) will automatically detect and translate captions in Meet with support for 69 languages (equal to 4,600 language pairs), helping people feel more confident and connected to their colleagues, regardless of language.
Vids also provides assistance in delivering the message effectively by offering options for personalized voiceovers, allowing users to choose from preset selections or utilize their own recordings .The Vids feature will revolutionize the video creation process, enabling anyone to become a proficient storyteller in the workplace.
Currently, Google Vids is undergoing restricted testing and its projected to expand its availability by June to more testers within Google Labs, and subsequently, it will become accessible to customers subscribed to Gemini for Workspace.
The company also announced two commercial offers that will allow users bring AI-powered meetings and messaging, as well as AI-powered security, to everyone in the organization, each for only $10 per user, per month.
Further the company announced that Gemini is coming to Google Chat in preview, giving users an AI-powered teammate to summarize conversations, answer questions, and more.
