Google Flow 🤝 @GoogleMaps Street View

Your agent in Google Flow can now generate images and videos grounded in @GoogleMaps Street View, giving your scenes real-world details. Whether you are placing characters in a local scene, stylizing a city landmark, or reimagining your favorite neighborhood, your agent references real-world imagery when generating images and videos.

How to get started:
1️⃣ Open the Flow Agent.
2️⃣ Include a specific location in your prompt.
3️⃣ Watch your scene come to life.

📍 Note: Currently available for U.S. Street View locations only.
