Google Flow, (formerly named Flow and VideoFX[1]), is a generative artificial intelligence filmmaking and multimedia creation platform developed by Google. Introduced at Google I/O 2025, Flow enables users to generate cinematic videos and visual assets using natural language prompts and uploaded media.[2]

The platform integrates several Google AI systems, including Veo for video generation, Imagen for image synthesis, and Gemini for prompting and language interaction.[3] Google markets Flow as an AI-powered creative studio designed for filmmakers, artists, musicians, and content creators.

Flow succeeded earlier experimental Google Labs projects such as VideoFX and became one of Google's flagship generative media products during the rapid expansion of AI-assisted creative tools in the mid-2020s.

History

Google publicly unveiled Flow during the keynote presentation of Google I/O 2025.[4] The product was developed by teams within Google Labs and Google DeepMind as part of Google's broader push into generative media systems.

Flow combined capabilities previously spread across separate Google experimental tools, including VideoFX for AI video generation, ImageFX for AI image synthesis, and Whisk for visual ideation and asset organization. At launch, Flow focused primarily on cinematic video generation powered by Veo and Imagen models.[5] Google promoted the platform as being "built with and for creatives", emphasizing narrative consistency, scene continuity, and camera controls.

In 2026, Google expanded Flow into a broader multimedia creation suite by integrating image editing, object manipulation, and audio generation features directly into the platform.[6]

By August 2025, Google stated that users had generated more than 100 million videos through Flow.[7]

Features

Flow allows users to create AI-generated media using text prompts, uploaded reference images, or pre-existing generated assets.

Video generation

Flow's primary feature is AI-assisted cinematic video generation. Users can generate short scenes and clips using natural language descriptions. The system uses Google's Veo video generation model to synthesize motion, lighting, camera movement, and scene composition.[8]

Features introduced across various versions include text-to-video generation, image-to-video animation, scene extension, camera angle controls, object insertion and removal, character consistency across scenes, and asset collections and project organization

Image generation and editing

Flow integrates Google's Imagen and Nano Banana image generation systems for concept art, scene ideation, and visual asset creation.[9]

In 2026, Google incorporated ImageFX and Whisk functionality directly into Flow, allowing users to create and edit images within the same workspace as video projects. Additional editing tools included lasso selection, object replacement, and prompt-based modifications.

Audio and sound

Later versions of Flow added synchronized sound generation and ambient audio features. Veo 3.1 enabled generation of dialogue, environmental effects, and music in conjunction with video clips.[10]

Flow TV

Google introduced Flow TV as a curated showcase platform where users could browse AI-generated clips and examine the prompts used to create them.[11] The feature was intended both as a discovery platform and as a learning resource for prompt engineering and AI filmmaking workflows.

Google Flow Music

Logo used after February 2026

Google Flow Music (formerly ProducerAI) is a music generation and AI-assisted songwriting platform associated with the Flow name. It originated as ProducerAI before being acquired by Google on February 2026.[12]

The service uses Google's Lyria audio generation models to create songs, instrumentals, vocal tracks, playlists, and remixable musical compositions from text prompts. Google described Flow Music as a "creative collaborator" rather than a replacement for musicians.

In 2026, Google partnered with music distribution company Believe and its subsidiary TuneCore to expand access to Flow Music for musicians and producers.[13]

In 2026, software company Autodesk filed a trademark infringement lawsuit against Google over the use of the name "Flow". Autodesk argued that the branding could create confusion with its existing Flow production-management products.[14] Reuters later reported that Autodesk sought damages and restrictions on Google's use of the Flow trademark.[15]
