Recent Disclosure of Google's AI Unveils Potent Video Enhancement for Gemini
Google is experimenting with new AI video creation features for its Gemini app, according to recent reports. This means that soon, Gemini might be able to generate not only still images but also lifelike video clips based on simple text prompts. As discovered by tech tipster AssembleDebug for Android Authority, the latest version of the app contains hidden mentions of video generation tools powered by "robin," a term Google uses internally for Gemini-related functions.
There's currently no word on when or if these video creation features will be available to Gemini users. However, the code seems to suggest that Google is actively testing such functions for potential inclusion in a future version of the app.
One intriguing possibility is that Google might give Gemini users access to Veo 2, Google DeepMind's cutting-edge text-to-video and image-to-video AI model. Already available as VideoFX from Google Labs in an early access form, Veo 2 can produce highly realistic videos based on text descriptions or images uploaded by the user. Extending Gemini's capabilities to include this tech would be a significant step forward.
Another possibility could be a reimagined version of Google's AI-powered video creation app, Google Vids, which generates business-focused videos using templates, stock media, and AI script writing. While valuable to businesses, this feature may not fit well with the Gemini app for general users.
As for the cost of using these AI video generation tools, Google hasn't provided any information. Given the high price of Veo 2 on other platforms, it's likely that any ongoing access to this technology would require a paid subscription to a more advanced version of Gemini.
In an unexpected move, the AI-focused creative site Freepik has made Google's Veo 2 AI video model available for public use within their all-in-one creative suite. The service offers two free video generations to the first 10,000 users, but after that, users will need to pay, and the price can be rather steep.

The imagen 3 within the latest version of the Gemini app shows hints of video generation tools. Hailuo, a Google employee, was reportedly involved in the development of these tools. The free AI video generator mentioned in the code is likely a reference to Veo 2, Google DeepMind's advanced AI model. The generative ai in Gemini has the potential to be upgraded with Veo 2's text-to-video and image-to-video capabilities. Gemini Advanced, the more advanced version of the app, might be required to access these AI video generation features. Assembledebug discovered references to "robin," a term Google uses for Gemini-related functions, in the app's code. Google Gemini's AI video generation has the possibility of challenging Paul Monckton's Lumalabs, a leading AI video creation company. If Gemini acquires Veo 2, it could generate highly realistic videos using simple text prompts or images.
