Gemini· Updated
Google released a new feature for Gemini Omni that allows users to create persistent AI digital twins of their own voice and likeness. By storing these avatars, users can generate personalized video content without re-uploading reference media for every session. This move brings high-fidelity video personalization directly into a general-purpose AI assistant for the first time.
This update positions Google as a direct competitor to platforms like HeyGen, which introduced a high-fidelity programmatic video API. By integrating digital twins into a horizontal assistant, Google is lowering the barrier for creators to scale their on-camera presence. Every video includes an imperceptible SynthID watermark to ensure AI-generated content remains verifiable.
You can now use these avatars to generate marketing clips by providing text prompts to the Gemini app. Access is limited to paid subscribers on the Google AI Plus, Pro, and Ultra tiers, recently restructured for high-compute workflows, following the launch of Google Flow's autonomous agent. Both web and mobile apps are available immediately.
Create videos with your own voice and likeness using avatars with Gemini Omni. When you create an avatar, you have an AI digital version of yourself so you can easily generate videos that look and sound like you. No need to upload your image every time.
