Veo Templates land in Gemini app

This is a productization move more than a model breakthrough: Google is reducing prompt friction so more people actually use Veo instead of bouncing off an empty text box.

• –Templates make Veo easier to try, which matters more for adoption than another abstract quality benchmark
• –Preset styles should improve consistency for recurring social clips, ads, and short-form creative workflows
• –Folding Veo deeper into Gemini strengthens Google's pitch that Gemini is becoming a full media creation surface, not just a chat app
• –For developers and tool builders, it signals Google is packaging generative video into reusable UX patterns rather than treating prompting as the whole product
