## Summary

Google's Gemini now lets you generate a personal AI avatar from a short selfie video, then drop that avatar into AI-generated videos that say whatever you script. The avatar plugs into Google Vids (slide-deck narration) and Google Flow (complex video prompts), making it usable across the Google video stack.

## Key Insight

- **Entry point:** `gemini.google.com/likeness` - a dedicated page for creating your own avatar likeness.
- **Capture flow:** click "Try now", scan a QR code with your phone, record a guided selfie video. No studio, no green screen.
- **Cross-product reuse:** the same avatar works in three surfaces - direct video creation, **Google Vids** (can narrate full slide decks), and **Google Flow** (more complex prompts).
- **Flow integration trick:** inside Google Flow, type `@` in a prompt to pull up and insert your avatar into a multi-element scene, so the avatar becomes a promptable asset, not just a talking head.
- **Scripted speech:** you control the dialogue ("have it say whatever you want"), so it doubles as a faceless/low-effort talking-head video generator.
