Google Vids

Excellent

by Google · founded 2024 · updated Jul 2026

Google Vids is Workspace's AI video creator: describe a video and it assembles clips, script, voiceover and music, generating footage with Veo and custom soundtracks with Lyria. It lives alongside Docs, Slides and Drive, so teams can produce training, explainers and social clips collaboratively without leaving Google Workspace or touching a traditional editor.
