Search engine giant Google is reportedly offering all Gemini users a unique opportunity to try out its advanced Veo 3 AI video generator for free, aiming to widen its user base with a compelling offer.

Typically reserved for paid Pro or Ultra subscribers, this feature allows users to create up to three AI-generated videos at no cost. Each video lasts 8 seconds and includes sound effects, demonstrating Veo 3’s capability to produce incredibly realistic short clips.

The promotion is available until 10 pm (PT) on Sunday (1am ET / 6am BST / 3pm AEST on Monday). 

Although the company hasn’t confirmed whether this offer is available globally, users everywhere are encouraged to take advantage of it directly through the Gemini app.

Veo 3 has been acclaimed around the world for its ability to create more cinematic, detailed, and photorealistic videos compared to Veo 3 AI video generator's previous iterations. 

The move positions Google as a competitor to other AI video platforms like Runway Gen-3 and OpenAI’s Sora.

Analysts were of the view that this limited-time free access is part of Google's strategy to attract users into exploring Gemini’s premium plans by showcasing its most advanced AI features.
