Key Benefits and Capabilities
Vids leverages Gemini AI to assist users in generating initial video or presentation drafts. The “help me create” feature allows users to create editable storyboards with text, scene-specific scripts, background music, and stock media.

Vids integrates seamlessly with other Google tools such as Docs and Slides, enhancing the collaboration and workflow efficiency.
