The tech giant has unveiled new features - Gemini Omni and personal avatars - to "make it easier than ever to create, edit and personalise your videos".

Regarding the avatars, they revealed in a blog post: "Want to send a quick video update or personalised shout-out, but don't have time to get camera-ready?

"With new personal avatars, you can create a digital avatar that looks and sounds like you. Just upload a selfie and a short voice recording.

"From there, type what you want to say and your avatar will deliver the message — no recording required."

Elsewhere, Gemini Omni is being introduced to Google Vids to let users "create and edit high-quality videos just by describing what you want to see".

Google explained: "Start with a simple text prompt in natural language, and add image references — like a photo or a rough sketch — for more detail.

"Omni mixes your inputs to generate a video that matches your vision."

The changes also impact editing, which Google has claimed is "now as easy as describing what you want to see".

They added: "Whether you're refining a video you generated with Omni or a clip you shot on your phone, you can use everyday language to prompt Vids to swap backgrounds, fix lighting or add effects.

"Because Omni supports step-by-step edits, you can now make changes to your videos without starting from scratch."

Meanwhile, Google has made it clear that there is a "digital watermark" on any video created with AI, to ensure everything is shared "with transparency".

They said: "We want you to feel confident sharing what you create. To ensure content transparency, every generated clip includes an invisible SynthID digital watermark.

"This allows people to verify that a video was created with AI, so you can explore your creativity and share your AI videos responsibly."
