同时,多模态模型 Gemini Omni 被引入 Vids,支持结合文字提示和参考图片生成视频,并能逐步编辑、替换背景或调整光线。 新头像与 Google 账号绑定,并带有 SynthID 隐形水印,仅限 18 岁以上特定地区用户使用。
OpenAI的Sora:https://techcrunch.com/2026/03/24/openais-sora-was-the-creepiest-app-on-your-phone-now-its-shutting-down/ 可能已经关闭:https://techcrunch.com/2026/03/24/openais-sora-was-the-creepiest-app-on-your-phone-now-its-shutting-down/,但谷歌显然认为人们仍然对一个可以让你在自己的AI视频中担任主角的工具感兴趣。周四,这家科技巨头宣布:https://blog.google/products-and-platforms/products/workspace/gemini-omni-personal-avatars/ 对Google Vids的更新,将允许你基于自拍照和你上传的语音录音创建一个看起来和听起来像你自己的定制数字化身。
此外,谷歌表示,它正在将其多模态AI模型Gemini Omni:https://techcrunch.com/2026/05/19/googles-gemini-omni-turns-images-audio-and-text-into-video-and-thats-just-the-start/ 引入Vids,让你可以通过书面提示和你上传的参考图片的组合来创建视频。Omni然后将这些输入混合在一起,生成你想要的AI视频。它还可以用来执行诸如更换视频背景或修复手机录制视频的光线,或添加特效等操作。
另外,Omni现在支持逐步编辑,这意味着你可以在制作视频的过程中进行修改,而无需从头开始。
这些更新将Google Vids从原本作为AI辅助职场演示工具的角色推向一个更全面的视频创作平台。通过将Vids整合进Google Workspace,公司暗示它可作为业务工具使用,如公司更新或培训视频,但个性化化身和对话式编辑可能会使其在与其他AI视频创业公司和工具的竞争中更为接近,例如HeyGen:https://www.heygen.com/blog/interactive-ai-avatar、Synthesia:https://www.synthesia.io/features/avatars、Cap:https://captions.ai/features/generate-ai-avatarst:https://captions.ai/features/generate-ai-avatarsions:https://captions.ai/features/generate-ai-avatars、D-ID:https://www.d-id.com/personal-avatars/ 等。
谷歌指出,新的 AI 虚拟形象将与账户持有人的肖像相关联,绑定到他们的 Google 账户,并隐形水印标记为 SynthID。(我想这意味着没有人会像 OpenAI CEO Sam Altman 曾经允许用户用 Sora 制作时那样,用这个工具制作谷歌 CEO Sundar Pichai 的奇怪 AI 视频!)
公司还表示,个人虚拟形象的访问仅限于年龄在 18 岁或以上的特定地区用户。

OpenAI’s Sora:https://techcrunch.com/2026/03/24/openais-sora-was-the-creepiest-app-on-your-phone-now-its-shutting-down/ may have shut down:https://techcrunch.com/2026/03/24/openais-sora-was-the-creepiest-app-on-your-phone-now-its-shutting-down/, but Google apparently thinks there’s still interest in a tool that lets you star in your own AI videos. On Thursday, the tech giant announced:https://blog.google/products-and-platforms/products/workspace/gemini-omni-personal-avatars/ an update to Google Vids that will allow you to create a custom digital avatar that looks and sounds like you based on a selfie and a voice recording you upload.
In addition, Google said it’s bringing its multi-modal AI model Gemini Omni:https://techcrunch.com/2026/05/19/googles-gemini-omni-turns-images-audio-and-text-into-video-and-thats-just-the-start/ to Vids, letting you create videos using a combination of a written prompt and reference images you upload. Omni then mixes those inputs together to create the AI video you want. It can also be used to do things like swap out the background or fix the lighting in a video recorded on your phone, or add effects.
Plus, Omni now supports step-by-step edits, meaning you can make changes to your video as you go instead of starting over from scratch.
The updates push Google Vids beyond its original role as an AI-assisted workplace presentation tool to become more of an all-in-one video creation platform. By making Vids a part of Google Workspace, the company is telegraphing its use as a business tool for things like company updates or training videos, but personalized avatars and conversational edits could put it in closer competition with other AI video startups and tools like HeyGen:https://www.heygen.com/blog/interactive-ai-avatar, Synthesia:https://www.synthesia.io/features/avatars, Cap:https://captions.ai/features/generate-ai-avatarst:https://captions.ai/features/generate-ai-avatarsions:https://captions.ai/features/generate-ai-avatars, D-ID:https://www.d-id.com/personal-avatars/, and others.
Google notes that the new AI avatars will be tied to the account holder’s likeness, tied to their Google account, and watermarked invisibly with SynthID. (I suppose that means no one will be using the tool to make bizarre AI videos of Google CEO Sundar Pichai, the way that OpenAI CEO Sam Altman had let users do with Sora when it was available!)
The company also says that access to personal avatars is limited to users in certain regions who are aged 18 or older.
