As a Google Cloud Partner, Munvo is always exploring how the latest innovations can help our clients stay ahead in a rapidly evolving digital landscape.

From AI-generated video content to multimodal assistants and real-time language translation, this year’s announcements promise to unlock new opportunities for marketing teams ready to innovate. Here’s a look at the 5 key updates and what they mean for marketers.

Flow: A New Era for Video Personalization

One of the most exciting announcements was Flow, Google’s generative AI tool for creating 8-second video clips from text or image prompts. Built on the powerful Veo 3 model, Flow allows users to stitch together short clips into longer videos, enabling rapid, scalable storytelling.

For marketers, this represents a major leap forward. The ability to rapidly generate variations on the fly opens new doors for A/B testing, personalization, and campaign optimization. Imagine testing dozens of video variants overnight such as swapping headlines, CTAs, or product shots to pinpoint what resonates. The same technology also adapts content for different audiences, whether it’s highlighting a product feature for technology enthusiasts or emotional benefits for casual browsers. When campaigns need mid-flight adjustments, marketers can refine underperforming videos by updating visuals or narratives without starting from scratch.

It’s no longer about creating one polished asset—it’s about generating hundreds of relevant ones that speak to different audiences with precision, whether testing ad variations, customizing messaging, or iterating for maximum impact.

Smarter, More Visual Search

Search is evolving. With “AI Mode” and features like Deep Search and live camera interaction via Project Astra, Google is transforming how users discover information.

This shift isn’t just about convenience—it’s about data.Marketers can now identify emerging queries before they trend, optimizing content for questions users haven’t fully articulated yet. Deep Search’s multi-step reasoning surfaces long-tail intent, allowing marketers insight into why someone researching “best running shoes” might actually need injury-prevention advice. Project Astra processes visual searches in real time, allowing brands to receive instant feedback on how products are used in natural environments.

This will drive the ability for Campaigns to adapt to consumer behavioural shifts, as they happen. Marketers will gain more nuanced insight into user intent and behavior, enabling even more refined targeting strategies and content delivery in real time. This is targeting, refined not just by what people search but how they think in between searches.

Gemini 2.5: AI That Thinks Before It Speaks

Google introduced major updates to its Gemini models, including Gemini 2.5 Pro with a “Deep Think” mode and the faster, more efficient Gemini 2.5 Flash.

These upgrades bring more natural, context-aware responses and greater transparency into how AI arrives at its conclusions. For marketing teams using AI for content, insights, or automation, that means faster, higher-quality outputs—and better trust in the results.

Google Meet Adds Real-Time Translation

With real-time translation now available in Google Meet (starting with English and Spanish), global collaboration just got easier. For marketing teams working across regions, this is a practical and powerful tool to break down language barriers in both strategy and execution.

Project Astra: The Next Evolution in AI Assistants

Finally, Google showcased its long-term vision for AI with Project Astra—a multimodal assistant that can respond to the world around it through both voice and vision.

While still in development, early integrations with tools like Gemini Live hint at a future where marketers can interact with AI in more proactive, intuitive ways—from real-time content analysis to strategic planning support.
