So, Google Gemini just released two
absolutely insane AI tools that I think
anyone can use to help them start an
online business. And honestly, when I
first tried these out, they absolutely
blew my mind. So, let's jump in. I'll
show you what both of these new features
are and how you can access them
completely for free. All right, so the
first tool I want to show you is inside
of Google Labs. Now, it sounds very
fancy, but if you just come over to
labs.google.com,
you can access this completely for free
with a Google account. Now, once on
here, you want to click right here where
it says create with flow and then again
click where it says create with flow.
Now, what this is is a video generation
tool. Now, you've probably seen AI video
generators before that create images or
videos just like the one that's playing
right now. But this takes things to the
next level for a few reasons. So, let me
show you why. If you click down here
where it says new project, and then down
here is the prompt box, which you can
use to create the video. Now, there's a
few different ways to do that. First,
there is text to video, which means you
just put in text and it will make a
video based on what you tell it to make
the video about. We also have frames to
video. With that one enabled, you can
upload an image and then it can turn
that image into a video. But I think the
most underutilized feature here that
most people don't even know about is
ingredients to video. So, go ahead and
select that one and then I'll show you
in a second how it works. But very
important before we do that, we have to
change these settings. So, first under
aspect ratio, go ahead and select
landscape. For number of outputs per
prompt, I think one is fine. If you do
multiple, it will create multiple videos
based on your prompt. Usually, the first
one comes out really well anyway. So,
I'm just going to select one. And then
under the model, you need to select
VO3.1
fast. VO3.1 is their newest model. It is
insane. You're going to see really how
how amazing the results are with it. And
you need to select the fast model for
this to work. Now we selected
ingredients to video. So now we have to
give Google the ingredients. And what do
I mean by that? I mean the images. So
I'm going to select two two images here.
An image of this dog that I uploaded and
this hat picture that I uploaded. And
I'm going to tell it create a video of
this dog wearing this hat looking into
the camera sitting down and cocking his
head. And what you'll see is that it's
going to use these two ingredients to
make this video. And then I'll go ahead
and click on submit. So, let's go ahead
and watch this video together.
I mean, there we go. Pretty simple, but
it works. That's what I asked for. And
what I love about this ingredients
feature is that you don't have to
describe everything that you want. You
can take the different pieces and have
it put it together for you. Now,
obviously, this was just kind of a silly
example, but you can begin to see how
useful this might be for something like
an e-commerce business. So, this is
where it gets really interesting. So,
let's go back to Flow. I'll click up
here to return back here. I will start a
new project, and we'll go through the
same settings. We'll do ingredients to
video, and the other settings should
stay the same. Now, this time for the
ingredients, I'm going to upload some
new images. First, an image of this
woman right here. I'll go ahead and crop
it to that dimension right there. Then
I'll go ahead and upload another image.
This time I'm using this product image
for these designer sunglasses. Now, with
both of those images added as the
ingredients, I will tell Google to show
the model wearing the sunglasses in a
sunny outdoor setting. Camera slowly
pans to show the product details and fit
and then click on submit. So, let's
check out this video together.
I mean, that is just so smooth. I love
that it's able to take these product
images and put them on models for you in
a matter of minutes. Ordinarily, in the
past, this required hiring models. You'd
have to get the products to the photo
shoot. You have to hire photographers.
Very expensive, very timeconuming. And
now for e-commerce companies and
businesses and small businesses that run
e-commerce stores, this is such a
gamecher. So I think you can see where
I'm headed with this. If you sell any
type of product online, whether on your
own website or on a marketplace like
eBay or Tik Tok, you can use videos like
these to showcase the product and drive
more sales. And I know a lot of you
might be thinking, Paul, I don't own an
e-commerce website. I can't afford to
create an e-commerce website. Well, if
that's you, then you might want to check
this out. This is a website that I just
built using AI. Took me about five
minutes to create this from start to
finish. And the best part about it is it
was completely free. And this is a fully
functional website. So people can come
in here. They like this tracksuit set.
They can go ahead and click on it,
choose the color that they want, go
ahead and add it to their cart and
actually make a purchase. Now, what's
crazy about this is that I didn't do any
of this myself. I just told an AI tool
what to do and it was able to make this
entire website for me. Now, the tool
that makes that possible is this right
here. It's called Build Your Store. Now,
before I show you how to use this, I
want to remind you that of course I can
never guarantee that you're going to
make any money with any of the methods
I'm showing you in this video. This is
really for educational purposes. And
with any business, there's of course
never any sort of guarantee of success.
Okay, so like I said, the tool that I
use to build my e-commerce store with AI
is called Build Your Store. I'll have a
link for this in the description down
below. They're not sponsoring this
video, but that is my affiliate link.
And with that, you'll be able to use
this completely for free. Now, once
you're on this page, you want to click
right here where it says build my free
store. And you're going to see that this
is incredibly easy to do because they
just walk you through step by step
everything they need from you, all the
information they need from you in order
to get this store set up. It doesn't
take a lot of time and in about five
minutes, you'll have a completely
functioning Shopify store just like this
one right here, built out for you by AI.
Now, I'm not going to walk you through
every single step here because like I
said, it is very straightforward. But
once you're finished and you have your
beautiful looking website, we can return
back to Flow and make some product
videos. So, all I did was I downloaded
some of the images of the products from
my website, created some images of
models, and let's head over to Flow and
put it all together. So, I'll go ahead
and start a new project here. Again, we
will do ingredients to video. And this
time, I will upload first one of the
products from the website, which is this
tracksuit. And I will also upload this
image of a model. and I'll tell it put
the tracksuit on the model and have him
walking on the runway wearing it. So,
let's go ahead now and take a look at
this.
And there we go. That's awesome. So,
what I can now do is post this on Tik
Tok or Instagram and use this to drive
traffic to my new website. And then, if
I wanted to, I can even upload an image
of a woman. So, like this one, tell it
to put the tracksuit on the woman. So, I
have female models demonstrating the
product as well. Really, the
possibilities with this are completely
endless. Now, before we move on to the
second new Google Gemini feature that
I'm super excited to show you about. If
you're finding this helpful so far, make
sure to hit that like button and
subscribe to the channel. I'm constantly
testing out new AI tools and finding
practical ways to actually use them. So,
if you don't want to miss out on any of
that, definitely subscribe. All right,
so the second new feature that Google
just dropped is one that completely blew
my mind and I think is going to
completely change the game for people
looking to start an online business and
it's something called Vibe Code. So this
is part of Google's AI studio. You can
access it by coming to a
studio.google.com.
Again, completely free to use with your
Google account. And what this does is it
allows you to build out fully functional
AI powered apps without writing any
code. And I'm not talking about simple
landing pages. I'm talking about fully
fleshed out actual apps with AI
functionality built in that you could
potentially sell as a product or offer
as a service to businesses. So once
you're on AI studio, you can click right
here where it says vibe code AI
generated apps. Then all you have to do
is describe in plain English exactly
what you want your app to do. So I'm
going to paste in create an app where
users can upload a product image and get
AI generated product descriptions
optimized for ecommerce. Include options
for tone and length. Make the interface
clean and easy to use. Now there's
different model choices. The best one
you should go with is model or Gemini
2.5 Pro. So stick with that one. And
then all you have to do is click on
build. And here you can see that it's
getting to work on the left. It's
actually thinking through the entire
project and constructing all the code
that's needed for this app. So let's
give it a few minutes to finish up and
then see what the final product looks
like. So it is now done. Guys, I
actually stopped recording cuz I thought
this would take several minutes. It took
like a minute to make this app. That is
incredibly impressive. You can see right
here it actually ran for 72 seconds.
That's all it took to create and code up
this entire app. That is mind-blowing.
So, let me show you. Let's actually test
this out and see if it works. So, I'm
going to go ahead and upload an image.
So, we will use the image of these
glasses. Now, for the tone, I want it to
be a luxury tone. And for the length,
we'll do medium. And then click generate
description. And here is the output. It
says, "Elevate your style with this
exquisite Vaspera sunglasses. a true
statement of refined luxury etc etc. All
this is super super good and it look it
was able to even pull the brand name
from the image which is here on the side
of it. That is very very impressive
because I've seen different websites or
different tools that were able to code
up different apps in the past but not
apps that actually have AI built into
them like this one does. So that is very
very cool. And now you could potentially
sell access to this app to e-commerce
sellers who would be willing to pay you
a monthly fee to access it. And the best
part about it is you didn't need to
learn any coding yourself. And this was
completely free to use. So there you
have it. Two brand new Google Gemini
features that you could potentially use
to start an online side hustle without
spending any money. Now, like I said at
the beginning, these tools don't
guarantee you're going to make any
money. You still have to put in the
work. You still have to market whatever
you're selling. You still have to
provide value to your customers, but the
tools make it easier than ever. Now, if
you enjoyed this video, you're going to
love this video right here, where I go
over seven of my favorite free AI tools,
including one tool that has completely
changed the way that I use my laptop.
So, make sure to click right here, find
out what I'm talking about, and I'll see
you over there in just one second. Bye
for now.
