Google’s New AI Video Tool Just Killed Runway & Pika — Meet Veo 3!
RIP Runway & Pika? Google’s Veo 3 Just Changed Everything
You ever watch something online and just sit there like… “Did that really just happen?” That was me watching Google I/O 2025 from my couch. I’m sipping tea, casually catching up on the event, and then — boom — Google drops Veo 3.
Not just another AI video tool. No, no. This thing literally makes cinematic videos with sound, characters talking, and background noise like thunder or traffic — all from a simple text prompt. I nearly spilled my tea.

Think of as an AI video tool that understands what you’re asking for and adds voice, background sound, and realistic visuals — all in one go. You type something like:
“A cat walking through a rainy alley, with thunder and soft meows in the background.”
