Bring your imagination to life with AI video generation

With Google AI Pro, you can start turning ideas into motion in just a few clicks. Each tool is designed to support a different kind of creative process, from polished storytelling to quick, playful clips.

Prompt: A follow shot of a wise old owl high in the air, peeking through the clouds in a moonlit sky above a forest. The wise old owl carefully circles a clearing looking around to the forest floor. After a few moments, it dives down to a moonlit path and sits next to a badger. Audio: wings flapping, birdsong, loud and pleasant wind rustling and the sound of intermittent pleasant sounds buzzing, twigs snapping underfoot, croaking. A light orchestral score with woodwinds throughout with a cheerful, optimistic rhythm, full of innocent curiosity.

Prompt: A cat "singing" opera with full orchestra, looking surprisingly profound.

Prompt: The video opens with a medium shot, eye-level, of Character A, an elderly Caucasian sailor with weathered skin, deep wrinkles, and a kindly face. He wears a faded, knitted blue sailor hat that casts a shadow over his eyes, and a thick grey beard that obscures his chin and neck. His blue eyes are peering down at a giant white ceramic plate of spaghetti placed on a railing. The spaghetti is topped with a vibrant red sauce and a sprinkle of fresh parsley. The background is a softly blurred seascape with a pier visible, suggesting a working dock on a sunny day. The overall atmosphere is nostalgic and warm, achieved with soft and natural lighting. The style is realistic, with a touch of cinematic quality. On his sweater, this is an embroidered word that reads, "Gemini"

Prompt: A medium shot, historical adventure setting: Warm lamplight illuminates a cartographer in a cluttered study, poring over an ancient, sprawling map spread across a large table. Cartographer: "According to this old sea chart, the lost island isn't myth! We must prepare an expedition immediately!"

Prompt: A detective interrogates a nervous-looking rubber duck. "Where were you on the night of the bubble bath?!" he quacks. Audio: Detective's stern quack, nervous squeaks from rubber duck.

Generate short clips instantly by typing a prompt: Veo 3⁴ on Gemini web is great for playful, one-off ideas or rapid visual brainstorming. Describe what you want to see, and Gemini brings it to life with a short, AI-generated video. It’s a fast way to explore ideas or make something personal to share.
Create cinematic, multi-shot videos that feel like short films: Flow gives you more control over structure, pacing, and tone. You can combine shots to build something expressive, such as a birthday tribute, a travel montage, or a scripted story.
Remix images, settings, and styles into motion: Whisk Animate lets you upload a subject image, pick a scene, choose a style, and create a short animated clip. It’s built for experimentation, like turning a childhood photo into a fantasy postcard or combining favorite visuals into something entirely new.

Playfully create video without editing software or advanced skills. Start with a prompt, and let your imagination run wild.

Turn your data into helpful insights

One of the most impressive features of the Gemini app in Pro is its 1-million-token context window. This means that the AI model can process and understand a massive amount of information — up to 1,500 pages at a time. And for even higher limits and access to our most advanced models, the Gemini app in Ultra takes your analysis and output capabilities even further.

But what does that look like in real life?

Let's say you want to speed up your creative process as a content creator. With the Gemini app in Pro, you could:

Analyze large files: Upload your social content for the past year along with a list of industry best practices to the Gemini app, and the model can analyze this data to generate a detailed report on your efforts. You can upload a variety of file types including PDFs, spreadsheets, images, and more.
Generate tailored insights: Using the report you created, the Gemini app can help you analyze the information to help you identify key themes that perform the best and give you recommendations on content you can incorporate into future posts.
Turn insights into action: Now that you have a better understanding of your content, you can turn that information into action. Tell Gemini what your goals are and ask for help creating a new monthly content calendar — or even write first drafts of posts for you. You can also do this directly within Docs or Sheets, using the Gemini side panel, to reference your report. Just type @ and the file name to reference the right file.

Let's imagine you're planning a joint birthday party with your friends. You've been emailing back and forth, discussing potential dates, venues, and activities. With Gemini in Gmail, you can:

Analyze the content of emails: Just ask Gemini to compare your vendor bids, and get a summary of costs, services provided, and availability based on responses in your inbox.
Proofread drafts: Have Gemini review your draft emails for grammar, spelling, and clarity, so you can make sure to send those party details without a hitch!
Summarize email conversations: Stay on top of every detail with quick recaps of the key points and action items discussed in your email exchange.
