Google Flow, a filmmaker-forward video tool released at last year’s I/O, has expanded into a fuller creative studio featuring several new agents accompanying various processes. Google demonstrated how users can interact with Flow Agent, for example, like a creative collaborator, asking it for recommendations and input on dialogue and plot development. With the new Omni Flash model, Google said Flow now preserves character consistency across frames, comparing Omni for video to Nano Banana for images.
Pics, Google’s new image tool, leverages Nano Banana and lets you create all-new graphics or edit existing photos, flyers, and more.
On a related note, Canva launched its Connected App for Gemini, allowing users to create in Canva from within the Gemini app. Just connect Canva to Gemini and type “@Canva” to get started; the integration can even use your chats as design context. Canva already has similar access set up in Claude, ChatGPT, and Copilot, so this move just brings access up to speed for another major chatbot.
