Today, we are excited to share an update that is about to transform the way we create content within the Google Workspace environment: the introduction of AI-generated Avatars in Google Vids.
What is Google Vids and why is it relevant to your business?
Google Vids is the video creation tool within the Google Workspace suite, designed to help teams quickly and easily produce quality content. Its native integration with your documents, spreadsheets, and presentations, along with the power of Gemini, makes it the perfect canvas for explaining complex ideas.
Now, with the incorporation of AI Avatars, the barrier between an idea and a polished video disappears completely.
Goodbye to Cameras and Coordination: AI Avatars, Your New Corporate Spokesperson
Imagine being able to generate a series of training videos or internal announcements with a professional presenter, without the need to book studios, coordinate filming schedules, or worry about the production budget. This is precisely what the new AI Avatars in Google Vids offer.
The mechanics are surprisingly simple:
- Access Google Vids and select the “AI Avatars” option.
- Type the script that the avatar should narrate.
- Choose one of the 12 preset avatars, each with an integrated look and voice.
- Vids, powered by Gemini, will automatically generate a coherent video with the avatar reading your content.
This process eliminates the headache of audiovisual production, offering a fast and consistent way to narrate your content and ensure the corporate message is delivered flawlessly and professionally every time.
Strategic Benefits for Your Productivity (Beyond Savings)
The true advantage for G Nerd clients operating with Google Workspace lies in operational efficiency:
- Brand Consistency: Ensures that all your organization’s videos (onboarding, policies, guides) have a presenter with a uniform voice and style.
- Response Speed: Explain new policies or implement product demonstrations *in minutes*, not days. This is crucial in rapidly changing business environments.
- Inclusion and Accessibility: Use avatars to provide clear and uniform narrations in content that previously might have required separate audio recording.
Immediate Practical Applications
This functionality is ideal for:
- Training and Development: Increase *engagement* in upskilling or new employee induction videos.
- Internal Communication (Announcements): Clearly and formally explain new policies or procedures to the entire organization.
- Product/Feature Demonstrations: Create polished and professional *walkthroughs* for new launches or tutorials.
The G Nerd Perspective: Key Implementation Details
As consultants, we emphasize the importance of knowing the technical details for successful implementation:
- Generation Limits: Currently, the tool allows generating up to 20 videos per week, with a maximum duration of 30 seconds per generation. This highlights the need to be concise and focus on key messages.
- Language Availability: Although Google Vids is available in your local language, the AI features, including Avatars, are available only in English for the moment. Consider this when drafting your initial scripts.
- Compatibility: The feature is available for various Google Workspace editions, including Business Starter, Business Standard, Business Plus, and all Enterprise editions, especially for those who have the Gemini add-on.
At G Nerd, we are ready to help you integrate Google Vids and its AI Avatars into your workflow, optimizing the use of your Google Workspace licenses and maximizing the impact of your internal and external communications.
