Google Just Dropped Free AI Avatars That Could Replace Your Face on Camera—But There’s a Catch Breaking: Google Vids now lets anyone generate talking-head videos without filming—here’s what entrepreneurs need to know before ditching the camera TLDR/ADHD Summary • Google Vids (free video editor) now includes AI avatars that turn scripts into talking-head videos in minutes—no filming required • You get ~dozen preset avatars, Veo 3.x-powered video generation, and 20 videos/week • Perfect for training content, quick explainers, and social clips • Big catch: You can’t upload your own face yet (custom avatars “coming soon”) • Smart move: Use it for volume content, save your real face for high-value brand building • Competitive barrier to video just collapsed—adapt or get left behind Listen, I’ve been tracking AI video tools for months, and this one caught me completely off guard. Google just quietly rolled out AI avatars inside Google Vids—their free video editor—and the implications for busy entrepreneurs are massive. We’re talking script-to-video in minutes, no filming, no editing headaches, no “sorry, I look terrible today” excuses. But before you cancel that video production contract, let me break down exactly what this tool can (and crucially, can’t) do for your business right now. The Game Google Just Changed Here’s the reality: Most business owners know video converts better than text. You know you should be making explainer videos, training modules, social content. But between terrible lighting, camera shyness, and the time sink of editing, most of those videos never get made. Google’s solution? Skip all of it. Their new avatar system inside Google Vids lets you paste a script, pick a virtual presenter from their library, and auto-generate a polished talking-head video—complete with AI-generated B-roll footage from their Veo 3.x model—without ever touching a camera.

Who has good books for me to read in 2026?

Every January, people set goals. By mid-February, most are gone — not because the person gave up, but because they never fully set the anchor. Every November, we run a full-day Retreat. We work through 7 areas of life: -Health -Soul -Relationships -Career -Fun -Wealth -Impact There's a saying that people spend more time planning their vacation than they do their actual life. The retreat forces you to slow down and get clear on areas you're not used to setting goals in. Most people default to career and health and forget the rest. One lever that consistently helps people stick with their goals: say it out loud. Publicly. When you name it, you give it weight. When others see it, you're more likely to protect it. So here's the ask. What's one area of life you're focused on improving in 2026? And what's one specific goal you're chasing in that area? Drop it below. Doesn't need to be polished.
