Tech giant Google on Monday opened up a beta version of a new AI-powered video creation tool, “Google Vids,” to select users of its suite of enterprise workspace applications.
“The test is starting Google video “Today, Google said in an emailed announcement: 'Vids is an AI-powered video creation app designed for work and tightly integrated with the Workspace suite you use every day.'
“We're excited to bring Google Vids to Workspace Labs,” a Google community manager added in a forum post on Monday.
Google Vids uses Google's Gemini AI and Vertex AI to create customizable presentations based on user prompts, including text, audio, and video. The company said Google Vids will initially be available to a “select group of trusted testers” in Google Workspace Labs.
According to Google, Vids uses generative AI to create editable presentations that include royalty-free stock video, images, audio, and background music, and like other Google Workspace products, users can collaborate on shared projects.
To broaden the appeal of its audio feature, Google Vids lets users choose from a range of voices, including energetic, friendly and calming, in various dialects, including American English, British English and Australian English.
Google first announced the video presentation tool in April, along with other additions to Gemini AI.
In May, Google announced a series of AI-powered features for its suite of Workspace tools, and while most of these new features are aimed at consumers, Google Vids is currently only available to business and enterprise accounts.
Google did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Decryption.
Last month, Google released Gemini 1.5 Pro, an enhanced version of its flagship AI model, to developers. Along with Gemini 1.5 Pro, Google also announced Gemma 2, an open-source large-scale language model that offers faster response and flexibility.
Another company leveraging generative AI to help businesses and content creators create eye-catching visuals is Canva, which released its AI-powered Magic Studio in October.
