Google<\/a> is getting into the “star in your own AI-made videos<\/a> without the need for a camera” game. The tech company said on Thursday<\/a> that two new updates to Google Vids<\/a>, its AI video creation tool, will let you star in your own videos, which you can now create with a typed prompt.<\/p>\n

Personal avatars are the first new feature I am referring to, and all you need to create a custom digital avatar of yourself — which will look and sound just like you — is to submit a selfie and a voice recording. The second update is the introduction of Google’s AI model Gemini Omni<\/a> to Google Vids.<\/p>\n

Together, these updates will let you create your own custom videos with a simple prompt and any reference photos you upload, bringing your vision to life. Omni mashes these inputs together, and the result is that personalized AI video you’ve been dreaming of.<\/p>\n

\"AI <\/a> <\/p>\n

You can do small tweaks to your content by adding a different background, adjusting the lighting in the video and adding a bunch of other post-production effects to make your Google Vid pop.<\/p>\n

And if you make an error, Omni lets you go step by step through your video edits to streamline the process. That’s a nice update compared to the old way of scrapping an entire project and starting from scratch.<\/p>\n

The days of Google Vids as an AI-assisted workplace tool are over, as these updates evolve the platform into a full-fledged video creation tool. Vids is now part of Google Workspace, so you can use it to create videos that align with your business’s communication materials (think onboarding videos).\u00a0<\/p>\n

Personal avatars help make this content more, well, personalized and conversational, which may further engage the viewer.\u00a0<\/p>\n

It’s not the first tool of its kind (see\u00a0HeyGen<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Synthesia<\/a>\u00a0as examples of what’s already out there), but having Google’s name associated with this kind of AI-assisted video creation will likely spark significant competition.<\/p>\n

For transparency’s sake, the AI-generated content created here will include an invisible SynthID watermark<\/a>, letting people know it was generated by AI and is not representative of real life. As for the new personal avatars feature, these images will be tied to a person’s Google account and will be available only to people in certain regions who are 18 or older.<\/p>\n
