Google Flow Introduces Six Creator-Built Tools for Audio, Video, and Architectural Workflows
Google Labs has released six new tools built within Google Flow by industry professionals in architecture, sound design, and digital content creation to automate complex workflows.
Google Flow allows users to create custom workflows simply by describing the tasks they need.
Audio and social content tools include Mondo Sónico for multi-track sound design, CaptionCast for automated multilingual subtitling, and ThumbnailForge for social cover art.
Visual and spatial tools include Surface for real-time 3D texture mapping, CollageMotion Pro for animated collages, and SwissFlow Studio for script-to-motion graphics.
Audio and Social Media Tools
Creative director Ricardo Villavicencio and sound designer Sebastián Carvallo developed Mondo Sónico, which generates synchronized background ambiance, foley, and sound effects across editable tracks with stem export capabilities. Digital storyteller Jay Pirabakaran created two tools: CaptionCast, which transcribes, styles, and animates multilingual captions in a single pass, and ThumbnailForge, which merges an image, headline, and prompt to generate photorealistic thumbnails for social platforms.
Architectural Ideation and Motion Graphics
Interior designer Vojtek Morsztyn built Surface to speed up material ideation by generating custom textures and mapping them directly onto 3D floors, walls, and ceilings in real time. Filmmaker Hashem Al-Ghaili designed CollageMotion Pro to generate dynamic animated collages from text prompts for documentary production, as well as SwissFlow Studio, which converts written scripts into Swiss-style motion graphics to bypass manual keyframing.
Workflow Customization
Google Flow positions these tools as alternatives to rigid creative software. Users can test the newly released workflows, duplicate and remix them to suit their individual setups, or generate entirely new custom tools from scratch by describing their needs.

We understand that everyone’s needs and workflows are different, so with
Google Flow
Tools, you can build custom workflows simply by describing what you need. We've seen a variety of creative fields bring their work into Google Flow, from filmmaking to architecture, sound design, and digital content creation. We’ve been working with leaders from across these industries to understand what tools are most helpful in their workflows, and today we’re releasing six new tools:
1.
Mondo Sónico
, by creative director
Ricardo Villavicencio
and sound designer
Sebastián Carvallo.
After collaborating for years, Ricardo Villavicencio and Sebastián Carvallo wanted more dynamic audio for their projects.
Mondo Sónico
generates custom background ambiance, foley, and contextual sound effects, automatically synchronized across separate, editable tracks to deliver total flexibility to export individual stems for professional post-production.
2.
CaptionCast
, by digital storyteller
Jay Pirabakaran
.
The digital storyteller known for weaving ancient mythology into cinematic, high-fashion visuals, created the tool to eliminate manual subtitling with a simple, single-pass pipeline that transcribes, styles, and animates multilingual captions in seconds.
3.
ThumbnailForge
, also by
Jay Pirabakaran.
It replaces tedious manually formatting and rendering cover art across social platforms by combining a single image, headline, and prompt into photorealistic, high-engagement social thumbnails.
4.
Surface
, by interior designer and multidisciplinary technologist
Vojtek Morsztyn
.
Recognizing how time-consuming it is to manually source, test, and render architectural materials during the ideation phase, Surface accelerates material ideation by generating custom textures — from Minimalist patterns to Art Deco tiling — and mapping them in real-time onto 3D walls, ceilings, and floors.
5.
CollageMotion Pro
, by filmmaker and science communicator,
Hashem Al-Ghaili
.
Knowing firsthand how compelling mixed-media visuals are for documentary storytelling — and how labor-intensive they are to craft by hand — he built this tool to automate this workflow and to generate dynamic, animated collages at scale from simple text prompts.
6.
SwissFlow Studio
, also by
Hashem Al-Ghaili
.
This tool simplifies traditional keyframing by converting scripts into Swiss-style motion graphics. This helps creators, designers, and marketers to produce striking motion design on demand — shifting the creative focus to compelling storytelling.
Rather than adapting to rigid, one-size-fits-all software, artists and designers can now shape their own creative technology.
