What’s happened? Google Flow, the AI video-making tool that turns your ideas into cinematic clips, just got a major refresh. Apart from its existing video features, Google Flow now supports Nano Banana Pro for image generation and a refreshed version of the underlying video model Veo 3.1, which brings more control, realism, and flexibility to creators.

  • The latest update unlocks four powerful new capabilities: image creation with Nano Banana Pro, doodle-based instructions, object insertion/removal, and camera angle adjustment.

This is important because: The latest updates make your Flow projects feel more like cinematic videos, not rough drafts.

  • Flow’s new Images tab lets you create or refine characters and visuals before turning them into video. Nano Banana Pro adds greater control over lighting, focus and colour, plus the ability to tweak poses or blend multiple reference images without starting over.
  • You can now draw directly on an image instead of relying only on text prompts. Flow reads your doodles as instructions and applies them to the final frame.
  • Google Flow now lets you add or remove specific objects in a clip without changing the rest of the scene. Object removal will roll out next month and will start as an experimental feature.
  • If a camera angle or movement doesn’t look right, you can now adjust it after the clip is generated. This works best on videos that don’t already include camera motion.

Why should I care? With AI-powered capabilities, you don’t need a large crew, dedicated hardware, or traditional filming, as Google Flow lets you bring ideas alive just with imagination and a prompt.

  • You now have the tools to create fully cinematic videos with audio and polished editing, right inside the browser.
  • You don’t need separate editing software for layering sound or cleaning up scenes, as Google Flow can now handle that end-to-end, saving time and technical headaches.

Google rejects alarming report that says its Search AI tools are unsafe for kids
The company says it couldn’t reproduce many of the responses cited and argues that the testing doesn’t reliably measure product safety
Google AI Mode on mobile and desktop

Google has rejected a new report that labels its AI-powered Search features an “unacceptable risk” for children and teenagers.

Common Sense Media’s Youth AI Safety Institute gave AI Overviews and AI Mode its lowest overall rating. The two tools performed poorly against seven of the institute’s eight AI safety principles and failed every category involving potentially severe harm. Google says those findings came from searches that don’t resemble how people normally use its products.
