Flow | AI-powered video tool

Let’s kick off our overview of Google I/O 2025 with a tool called Flow. It’s a brand-new AI-powered video tool designed for filmmakers.

With Flow, you can bring in your characters, scenes, or whip them up right inside the tool. There’s also cool stuff like camera controls for changing angles, a scene builder to edit or extend shots, and handy asset management features.

The Flow is also used in the new Veo 3 and Imagen 4. Let’s go deeper with these tools!

AI video Apps , how are you, guys?

Imagen 4 | Image-Generator

Image 4, one of the advanced models. The model can generate super high-quality images and even better than its previous Imagen 3. It’s great at capturing tiny details like fabrics, water droplets, and animal fur, and it works with both photorealistic and abstract styles in up to 2K resolution.

What sets Imagen 4 apart?

CHAT GPT VS IMAGEN 4

Guess where Imagen and ChatGPT are. The answer will be after the prompt (long prompt.

Answer: left image OpenAI (30-35 sec), right Imagen 4 (4.2 sec)

According to Google, it’s not just about image quality, it’s also much faster than Imagen 3, with an even speedier version on the way. Plus, it handles text and topography much better, making it perfect for things like slides, invitations, or anywhere you need images and words to mix.

Imagen 4 is already available in the Gemini app, on Google’s Whisk and Vertex AI platforms, and throughout Google Workspace apps like Slides, Vids, and Docs.

VEO 3

Google just dropped Veo 3, its latest AI video model, and it’s a big step up; it can generate audio to go with the videos it creates! That means Veo 3 doesn’t just make visuals; it can add sound effects, background noise, and even dialogue that matches what’s happening on screen.

“For the first time, we’re emerging from the silent era of video generation,” Demis Hassabis, the CEO of Google DeepMind, Google’s AI R&D division, said during a press briefing. “[You can give Veo 3] a prompt describing characters and an environment, and suggest dialogue with a description of how you want it to sound.”

Also to help fight misuse, Google is adding invisible SynthID watermarks to Veo 3’s videos. According to Google, it also makes even better-looking videos than the previous version, Veo 2.

By the way, Veo 3 is currently the most powerful, state-of-the-art model out there—and right now (limited time!), It’s available for free. Worth checking out if you haven’t tried it yet!

Of course, there are still concerns about AI disrupting creative jobs. A 2024 study predicted that over 100,000 jobs in film, TV, and animation could be affected by AI by 2026.

But the exciting news doesn't end at Veo 3. How about an AI mode that tracks 50 billion from big retailers and local shops in seconds?
