How Google Flow, powered by Veo 3, takes the internet by storm: Key features explained
Tech giant Google has recently launched a new AI-powered video creation platform called Flow, unveiled at its I/O 2025 event. The tool brings together the company's latest generative models —Veo, Imagen, and Gemini — and is now available to select users in the United States.
Flow allows users to create short video clips and scenes using natural language prompts. It builds upon Google's earlier experimental tool, VideoFX, and is described as a space where creators can generate, edit and organise cinematic assets with a focus on scene consistency and control.
Flow is integrated with Veo, Google's video generation model designed to deliver high-quality visual content with adherence to user prompts. It also includes Imagen for generating images from text and Gemini for interpreting prompts written in plain language.
Notable features include: Camera Controls : Users can manually adjust camera angles, movements and perspectives within scenes.
: Users can manually adjust camera angles, movements and perspectives within scenes. Scenebuilder : Enables users to edit and extend video sequences while maintaining continuity between shots.
: Enables users to edit and extend video sequences while maintaining continuity between shots. Asset Management : Offers tools to organise images, character elements, and prompts for reuse across projects.
: Offers tools to organise images, character elements, and prompts for reuse across projects. Flow TV: A library of sample clips made with Flow and Veo, where users can view the exact prompts used to generate each piece of content.
Flow is accessible via two subscription tiers —Google AI Pro and Google AI Ultra. The Pro plan includes 100 generations per month, while the Ultra plan includes higher usage limits and early access to Veo 3, which supports environmental audio and character voice generation.
The announcement has prompted a surge of user activity online, particularly focused on the capabilities of Veo 3. On X, users have begun sharing early outputs and discussing the implications of AI-assisted video production.
One post from Dave Clark, co-founder of the production company Promise, stated: 'Created with Google Flow. Visuals, Sound Design, and Voice were prompted using Veo 3 text-to-video.'
Another user wrote, 'Less than 24 hours since Google dropped Veo 3 and people are already creating wild stuff! 13 insane examples 🧵👇 1. A giraffe riding a bike in NYC.'
Flow is currently limited to U.S.-based users subscribed to eligible plans, with a broader rollout expected in the coming months.

KTR pitches India's IT potential, urges global firms to invest in tier-2 cities
1 2 3 Hyderabad: BRS working president KT Rama Rao has urged greater collaboration between govts and tech firms to harness India's youth potential in the Artificial Intelligence (AI) space. During his US visit, KTR met IT leaders in Dallas and highlighted India's readiness to host offshore centres, especially from small and mid-sized firms. "AI will define the future. We must equip our youth and create ecosystems to make India a global talent hub," he said. Recalling Hyderabad's transformation under the BRS govt, he noted: "In 2014, Hyderabad had 3.2 lakh IT jobs. By the time we left office, it had grown to 10 lakh. Companies like Amazon and Google built their biggest campuses outside the US here." He said the BRS govt promoted IT growth beyond Hyderabad, creating hubs in 10 tier-2 cities such as Khammam, Mahbubnagar, Nalgonda, Siddipet, Nizamabad, and Adilabad. "Firms like NTT Data are thriving in Adilabad with 500 professionals. We offered rent-free spaces, incentives, and plug-and-play infrastructure," he said. KTR emphasised the need for infrastructure to unlock regional potential. "As former US President John F. Kennedy said, America got rich by building highways. India must invest similarly," he added, appealing to NRIs and investors to back the country's next growth phase.

"False Endorsements, Real Losses": AI-Enabled Financial Scams On The Rise
New Delhi: A digital risk firm has raised an alarm over the rapid rise of AI-enabled financial scams in India in a devastating report that analysed some cases, including a deep fake video of Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman in which she is seen endorsing fraudulent cryptocurrency. The initial wave emerged with the circulation of deep fake videos featuring Google CEO Sundar Pichai, in which he was falsely portrayed as endorsing a platform called Google Invest, described as a government-supported initiative offering unusually high returns, the report titled 'False Endorsements, Real Losses' by digital risk management firm Athenian Tech said. In its more evolved form, the fraud assumed a sophisticated disguise - a recent campaign replicated the layout and typographic style of the Times of India website to lend journalistic legitimacy to a platform named 'Go Invest' using the image of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the report said. Further investigations indicate the same ecosystem released a deep fake video of Ms Sitharaman, in which she appeared to be endorsing another fictitious initiative called 'InvestGPT', said the report by the company founded by Kanishk Gaur, who has led leadership roles with Deloitte, EY, and Synopsis. The video, similar in structure to the earlier clip of Mr Pichai, used manipulated lip-sync and voice synthesis to simulate endorsement, reinforcing a now-familiar strategy that relies on public trust in institutional figures, it said. In the 'threat analysis' section, the report highlighted the implications of such synthetic media - they create a misleading sense of legitimacy by showing trusted public figures; they blur the boundaries between authentic and manipulated communication, distorting public perception, and they inflict lasting reputational damage - even after content removal - by spreading doubt and misinformation across digital channels. To fight this new class of digital fraud, the report recommended steps beyond domain takedowns. "What is required is a coordinated strategy that encompasses early detection mechanisms, robust user education, media verification protocols, and stronger accountability from platforms that host such content. In an age where seeing is no longer enough to believe, vigilance must become the default posture," the report said. It also suggested reporting the domain to CERT-In and other cyber security authorities for immediate takedown, notifying the domain registrar and hosting provider to suspend the website, blocking the URL within networks to prevent users from accessing it, raising public awareness about such scams through social media and official advisories, and monitoring for similar domains that may copy this scam to continue the fraud under new names.
