Google has recently introduced a new update that allows users to create AI avatar videos directly using its tools. This feature, shared earlier through a WhatsApp channel and now officially visible, enables creators to generate automated videos using ready-made AI avatars. These avatars can be used for product videos, influencer content, or general video creation without advanced technical skills.
This article explains how the AI avatar feature works, how to access it, and what limitations currently exist—based strictly on the shared video transcript.
Google’s New AI Avatar Update Overview
Google has added AI avatars as part of its recent updates, making automated video creation more accessible. With this feature, users can select from pre-built avatars and generate videos based on a written script.
These AI avatars can be useful for:
- Product promotion videos
- Influencer-style content
- Informational or scripted videos
Users can choose an avatar, paste their script, and generate a video automatically.
Account Requirements to Access AI Avatars
To use this AI avatar feature, specific account requirements must be met:
- A Google account is mandatory
- Access is available only with a Google Pro account
- The feature is not available on Ultra accounts
The avatar functionality is currently limited to Pro accounts. Users without Pro access will not see the avatar option.
How to Activate Google Pro for Free
