Google Vids
An AI‑native video tool in Google Workspace that helps teams and individuals turn documents and images into training videos, updates, and marketing clips – with AI‑generated footage and subject consistency.
Tool overview
Google Vids brings video creation into the familiar Google Workspace environment. Its core premise is ‘if you can make a slide deck, you can make a video.’ Users provide a prompt and files from Google Drive, and Gemini automatically generates a first‑cut storyboard with suggested scenes, stock media, scripts, and background music. A full timeline editor, screen/recording studio, and teleprompter‑assisted narration allow quick polishing, making it practical for workplace videos like safety trainings, product demos, and team updates.
A standout feature is the Ingredient‑to‑Video capability powered by Veo 3.1. By uploading up to three reference images (e.g., product photos, brand logos, character references) along with a text prompt, users can produce an eight‑second clip where objects and faces remain consistent with the inputs. This significantly reduces the ‘character‑drift’ problem common in AI video, enabling consistent brand animations, multi‑shot training scenes, and product showcases without heavy post‑editing.
