1. Google tests Gemini AI-created video presentations.

Google introduces Vids, a new productivity app in Workspace Labs, making video creation as simple as making slides. Announced in April, Vids allows users to drop docs, slides, voiceovers, and video recordings into a timeline to create presentation videos. Unlike AI tools that create lifelike footage from prompts, Vids focuses on generating presentations with Gemini AI, letting users describe their vision and then customize the video. Vids offers templates and royalty-free stock content, and Gemini can automatically insert stock footage, generate scripts, and provide AI voiceovers for seamless, professional presentations. Available in the Workspace Labs preview for early access.

2. Presti leverages GenAI to cut costs in furniture photo shoots.

Presti uses generative AI to turn single product images into realistic lifestyle photos, saving furniture brands time and money on costly photo shoots. The French startup, founded in November 2022, raised $3.5M led by Partech. Presti's AI, based on Stable Diffusion XL, is optimized for furniture imagery, allowing easy background generation and accessory addition. This innovation streamlines new product releases and helps create unique brand identities online.
