Google has enhanced its Vids platform by introducing AI-powered custom avatars that replicate users' likeness and voice from a selfie and voice recording. The update also integrates Google's Gemini Omni AI model, enabling video creation through text prompts and reference images, plus features like background swapping and lighting fixes.

Access to personal avatars is restricted to users 18+ in certain regions, with avatars linked to Google accounts and watermarked for authenticity.
