I’m back from Google I/O, and while everyone saw the big keynote announcements, some of the most interesting AI tools were buried in the margins.
In this one, I dig into what Google is actually building around Omni, Flow, Genie, video editing, world models, audio tools, and the creator workflows that did not get the clean keynote headline. I also got to talk with Josh Woodward and Logan Kilpatrick about what Omni is, where video fits into it, and why this might be less “one new video model” and more “a new layer for editing, remixing, compositing, and building with AI media.”
The short version: Google’s AI video plan is getting weird. Maybe underpowered in spots, definitely sprawling, but also way more interesting than just waiting for the next model name.
Plus — for the first time ever — a loose, on-the-ground podcast with some of my favorite creators recorded straight from the I/O floor.
