With this launch, you can upload an image into Google Vids and input a prompt to convert the image into a high quality eight-second video with sound. This experience uses Veo 3 to create dynamic and engaging content effortlessly by transforming product photography, logos, and more from static shots to engaging short videos based on your instructions.

Starting today, you can deliver a polished and consistent message by writing a script and choosing an AI avatar to deliver your content in Google Vids. 

Simply go to vids.new, click “AI Avatars”, type a script in the AI avatar right side panel, choose a persona, and Vids will generate a video for you to preview within minutes. 

Whether you need a reliable way to present information clearly for a dozen training videos or you don’t have time or budget to film the right spokesperson for your video, AI avatars provide a fast, consistent way to narrate your videos. Here are some examples of how you can use AI avatars to meet your video needs: 

  • Increase engagement in safety and upskilling content through training & development videos. 
  • Explain new policies and procedures for your organization with announcement videos.

Following our recent announcement of balance sound in Google Vids, we’re excited to introduce an additional editing feature that effortlessly refines your videos and audio. 

We know it's common for people to record themselves and later discover distracting pauses, and “uhms” and “uhs.” Or, after recording, you could decide you want to cut out an entire sentence to shorten a clip. 

Instead of having to record the entire clip over, Gemini in Vids can now generate a transcript of your recording, and then identify and trim filler words and awkward pauses out of the transcript with one click to help you sound your best and eliminate tedious editing tasks. 

Who’s impacted 

End users 

Why you’d use it 

With transcript-based trimming, users can remove filler words, pauses, and unnecessary sections with a single click, producing a polished final video in no time. 

Additional details 

This feature is only available in English. 

Getting started 

  • Admins: Vids will be ON by default and can be disabled at the organizational level. Visit the Help Center to learn more about turning Vids on or off for users. 
  • End users: 
    • To get started, go to vids.google.com in your web browser to create a new vid. 
    • Add a video or audio clip that contains speech in English. Or, record yourself using Insert > Recording, or the Record button in the righthand rail. 
    • Click on the video clip or audio track, and click the transcript editing icon and a side panel will open on the right. 
      • If the transcript is not ready, you will see a “Generating transcript…” message. 
    • Once ready, the transcript will be shown in the side panel. 
      • Filler words will be underlined and shown in red, like “uh.” 
      • Silences are denoted in parentheses with ellipses and their duration, like “(...3s).” 
    • Click on a word or silence and select “Remove.” 
    • When you play back your media, that word will be removed.

What’s changing 

Building on the introduction of intelligent suggestions for table conversion, we’re now using Gemini to make tables in Sheets even more useful. Now, when you accept a “Convert to table” suggestion, Gemini will automatically format your data as a table and create a meaningful table name (e.g., Project_Status).

Tables help organize your data, simplifying common tasks like sorting and filtering. They also enable the use of table references, which use the table's meaningful name in place of cell coordinates. For example, a formula like =SUM(E2:E15) becomes the more descriptive =SUM(Office_Expenses[Amount]). These names are not only easier to read and understand, but they are also easier to write, appearing in formula autocomplete suggestions as you type. 

Crucially, table references are dynamic. The formula's range automatically expands and contracts as you add or remove rows from your table, ensuring your calculations are always up to date and accurate, without you ever needing to manually edit cell ranges again.

Users have been able to use Gemini in the side panel of Google Drive to summarize one or multiple documents, interact with PDFs, have focused conversations about a specific Drive folder, create files and folders, and more. However, until now, this functionality was text-based only and did not account for images saved in your Drive. 

Similar to the recent video announcement, we’re happy to announce that Gemini can now answer questions or give you summaries about images in Drive. Here are some examples of what you can ask Gemini to: 

  • Summarize this image
  • Extract text from this image
  • Extract information from this receipt/invoice into a table
  • Generate alternate text for this image
  • Write a story about this image

For those who prefer to listen to document content, we’re excited to introduce the ability to create audio versions of your documents using Gemini in Google Docs. 

Whether you want to hear your content out loud, absorb information better while reading, or help catch errors in your writing, audio versions of your documents provide you with clear, natural-sounding voices that read your documents aloud. You also have the option to customize your audio experience with a variety of voices and playback speeds to match your personal preferences. 

This new feature includes capabilities for both authors and readers to listen to documents. More specifically:

Readers can access the Listen to this tab option, available in the Tools > Audio menu, to quickly listen to the contents of the current tab. 


Authors can add Audio buttons, available in the Insert > Audio buttons menu, which inserts a play button directly into documents so readers can easily listen to the current tab with a single click. Once added to the document, authors can change the label, color, and size of the button.

When there are a smaller number of unread messages, you can l manually generate a summary by clicking / tapping on the summarize button. 

This new feature will help you more easily catch up on unread messages within conversations so you can quickly get up to speed and respond as needed.

What’s changing 

Building upon generative image capabilities across Google Workspace, we’re excited to introduce two AI image editing features in Google Slides and Google Vids. 

To expand on the ability to edit your images, we’re adding the options to modify the background of your image beyond removing the background. Simply select your image, and click on the ‘Generate an image’ icon in the side panel, select ‘Edit’ and select "Replace background." and type in a prompt, such as ‘Minimalist product shot in studio’ and select ‘Create’. This new feature can be useful in numerous scenarios, for example: 
  • Contextualize products: Take a standard product photo (e.g., a chair on a plain background) and instantly place it in a variety of realistic settings like a modern living room, a cozy café, or an outdoor patio to help customers visualize it.
  • Company headshots/team photos: Easily remove distracting backgrounds from employee photos and replace them with a professional, unified backdrop for internal and external presentations (e.g., "Meet the Team" slides, company profiles). 
  • Tailored client presentations: Quickly adapt presentation visuals to resonate with specific clients by changing backgrounds to reflect their industry, location, or company culture. For example, show a software solution being used in a specific office environment or industry setting. 
  • Visually engaging training materials: Create more appealing training slides by replacing generic backgrounds with relevant imagery that helps illustrate concepts (e.g., a customer service representative in a dynamic call center environment). 

Replacing the background of an image in Vids 

Gemini can also now help intelligently expand the background of your images, so you can seamlessly resize and reframe visuals without distortion or compromising quality. For example, if you have a smaller image of an object in your Slides presentation and you’d like to make it bigger to increase its impact, simply open the expand feature using “Generate an image” in the side panel of Slides or the sidebar. From there, you select your desired aspect ratio and can browse different image options to preview before inserting one into your presentation.

Last year, we introduced Gemini LTI™, an AI-powered assistant that can integrate into third party Learning Management Systems (LMS). Gemini LTI™ helps enhance the educational experience for both educators and students by providing AI-driven tools and features powered by Gemini within their LMS environment, such as Canvas by Instructure and PowerSchool Schoology Learning. 

Today, we’re excited to announce that NotebookLM is now integrated with Gemini LTI™. As a result, educators can create Notebooks per week/topic and publish them within Gemini LTI. These Notebooks can include relevant teaching materials and act as an additional resource for students to use while learning. In the coming weeks, Gems will also be integrated with Gemini LTI™. 

For example, educators can:
  • Create content-grounded Notebooks that help define their curriculum and empower students to learn at their own pace. 
  • Create Gems for FAQs that help students quickly find answers to common questions about assignments, and more (coming soon). 

For example, students can: 
  • Learn on-the-go by creating a podcast-like Audio Overview of their course material with NotebookLM 
  • Get in-the-moment assistance with real-time coaching using Gems (coming soon).

What’s changing 

We’re introducing several changes to make the act of training custom AI models for data classification in Google Drive more efficient:
  • Multi-model Support: When AI classification first launched, the product supported training a single model for a single label field.  Now, customers can train up to five unique models.  Common use cases for multiple models are:
    • Models for different labels
    • Models for different fields of a single label
    • Multiple models for the same label & field combination, with different training datasets curated for separate audiences 



  • On-demand Training: Training AI classification models can be an interactive process.  With the former version of the product, the models would train on a predefined schedule.  Now, the administrator can decide when to train the model, initiating the training process on demand – enabling organizations to move at their own pace! 
  • Refreshed UI: We’ve redesigned the AI classification experience from the ground up with a new onboarding flow and model details page.  With the redesigned UI, Workspace Administrators will now see richer insights into the status of model training, metrics on their training data, model recall scores, and a history of their model versions. 

Who’s impacted 

  • Admins

Why it matters 

  • Powered by privacy-preserving AI models that can be uniquely trained on specific customer needs, AI classification automatically identifies, classifies, and labels files in Google Drive. This helps organizations standardize data classification and achieve labeling consistency at scale. Labels can then be used to trigger rules on files that can and cannot be shared through data loss prevention (DLP) controls, lifecycle management policies, as well as audit and reporting use cases. These latest enhancements give admins the flexibility to train models when they need to and for the specific and dynamic needs of their organization.

Enterprise security controls for Google Workspace with Gemini
 With its rapid adoption and growing importance, organizations are rightly concerned about potential data security and privacy risks when deploying generative AI. Google Workspace with Gemini is enterprise-ready. First, Gemini keeps customer data confidential and can support compliance with different regulatory frameworks, such as HIPAA and FedRAMP High. Second, Gemini is built with a layered defense strategy for prompt injection mitigation, an emerging attack vector against AI systems. And third, Workspace comes with granular user access and data security controls, helping administrators safely and securely deploy AI tools, such as the Gemini app, Gemini in Workspace apps, and NotebookLM, across their organizations with confidence.
