Google’s new Gemini Omni experience is starting to appear for some users, and at least one person has already been prompted to “Create with Gemini Omni.” The report, published May 11, 2026, says the feature is showing up in the wild just as Google I/O 2026 draws near.
The first signs came from a user who spotted a new usage tab on the account and then found that two video prompts had burned through 86% of the daily limit on an AI Pro plan. That kind of meter is a clue that Google is treating the feature as something more than a casual experiment, especially if the new flow is intended to let people remix video, edit directly in chat and work from pre-made templates.
Google has already put a video model on the market with Veo, and Gemini Omni appears to extend that line rather than replace it. In leaked demos, one prompt asked for two men eating spaghetti at an upscale restaurant, while another showed a professor writing out a proof for trigonometric identities on a traditional chalkboard and explaining the steps as he went. Those examples point to a tool aimed at more controlled, scene-by-scene generation rather than a one-click novelty.
That timing matters because video generation is still the sharpest frontier in consumer AI, and Google has repeatedly said that “video is here to stay.” The company has also been seen planning more explicit usage limits for Gemini, which makes the new usage tab feel less like a small interface tweak and more like part of a broader effort to manage demand as the product line expands.
The tension is that Google is talking up video at the same moment some rivals appear to be easing off. OpenAI has seemingly pumped the brakes on Sora, and that leaves room for Google to press its advantage if Gemini Omni is indeed an evolution built on the Veo foundation. If the early appearance is a soft launch, the real test comes next: whether Google opens the feature wider at I/O and how tightly it decides to ration the generation power behind it.
