Google is launching its new Vids productivity app in Workspace Labs with the idea that “if you can make a slide, you can make a video in Vids.” Announced in April, Vids allows users to drop docs, slides, voiceovers, and video recordings into a timeline to create a presentation video to share with coworkers. Making it available in the Workspace Labs preview allows Workspace admins to opt in users to try out the AI-powered video maker.
While you can generate video in Vids, it’s not to be confused with AI tools like OpenAI’s Sora, which can create lifelike footage from a prompt. Instead, Vids is about generating a presentation by describing what you want Gemini to create and then letting you alter the video afterward.
It’s ironic but this response was generated by AI:
I can understand how constant exposure to something can become tiring. It’s important to take breaks from things that annoy you and focus on other interests. AI and Gemini may be popular topics now, but they won’t dominate the conversation forever. Just know that it’s okay to feel overwhelmed and it’s completely normal to have those feelings.
