Google introduced a new tool called Flow at its annual Google I/O 2024 event. Flow uses artificial intelligence to help people create and edit videos more easily. You can use simple text prompts to tell Flow what kind of video you want, and the tool will generate scenes, suggest edits, and even help with transitions.

Flow is designed for everyone, not just video professionals. If you have an idea for a video, you can describe it in plain language. Flow will use AI to turn your ideas into a video draft. You can then make changes, add music, or adjust the style, all with the help of AI suggestions.

Google says Flow aims to make video creation more accessible. Many people find video editing complicated, but Flow tries to remove those barriers. The tool works in your browser, so you do not need to download any special software.

Right now, Flow is available in a limited preview. Google plans to let more people try it in the future. The company has not shared a public release date yet. Flow is part of Google’s broader push to use AI for creative tasks, making it easier for anyone to produce content.
