How I Use Flow in India to Double Productivity | Google veo3
When I was starting, I had one big problem. I kept losing track of my work. I’d start something on a note app, then move it to an email draft, then copy it into a doc, and by the time I wanted to post it, I didn’t even remember which version was final.
I make a lot of videos and write-ups for small brands. I also help my friends run ads. And when things pile up, I get cranky. My mind feels overloaded, like a computer with too many tabs open.
A few months back, someone told me about Flow. I didn’t even care what it was. I just wanted something to make my day feel less messy.
So I gave it a try. This is me sharing how I use Flow in India, what I found, what went wrong, what worked, and why it fits into this new world of AI video stuff like Veo3.
My mess before Flow
I used to open my day by checking messages on WhatsApp, Instagram DMs, and email. Then I’d scribble my to-do list in a cheap diary. Then I’d get lost.
Some days, I’d forget to upload a client reel. Or I’d miss an edit someone asked for. Once, I left a paid ad running for an extra week by accident. The client wasn’t happy. I felt like quitting.
My workflow was broken. And in India, clients don’t always understand “creative delays.” They want fast, clean results.
My first week with Flow
I signed up for Flow online. The interface was simple. I didn’t have to beg a cousin to set it up. I added my content files, connected Google Drive and Notion, and set up a simple board:
- Ideas
- In progress
- Feedback
- Final
That’s it. No complicated charts. No big words.
In that first week, I finished a campaign video 2 days early. I also sent all client updates on time. I felt lighter. I didn’t need to remember where every piece was. Flow reminded me.
Why Flow feels different?
Most tools feel like school. You know, those big diagrams and rules. Flow felt like having a whiteboard at a friend’s place where I could stick all my ideas. You can stick things on it and move them around.
It’s not about complicated setups or big data screens. For me, it’s more like a safe place to keep my half-baked thoughts until they’re cooked.
In India, many freelancers work alone or with small teams. We don’t have fancy project managers or daily stand-ups. With Flow, I open it in the morning, see what’s waiting, and start.
The big “aha” moment
One day, I got a new client. They wanted 20 short videos in a week. Normally, I’d panic.
I added each video idea to Flow. I tagged the status. I added deadlines. Then I slept better.
All videos went out on time. The client asked me if I had a “big team.” I laughed. It was just me, my friend editing, and Flow in the background.
That week, I realized: tools don’t make you smarter. They make you calmer. Calm makes you faster.
How to use Flow in India?
I’m no tech guru. I click buttons until something works. Here’s what I do:
- Sign up on their website.
- Connect your cloud storage or other tools.
- Create a board (mine is “Content Factory”).
- Make columns like “Ideas,” “Editing,” “Review,” and “Done.”
- Drag stuff around as you go.
That’s it.
I also set email reminders inside Flow because my brain forgets faster than I can type. In India, the internet is cheap and fast now. So using cloud tools like Flow feels smooth. No lag, no drama.
Why I started following Google Veo3?
Around that time, I heard of Google Veo3. Someone sent a link in a group chat. Veo3 is a new tool from Google that makes videos from text. You write something, and it creates a video from that: simple words, fancy magic.
I was curious. I like testing new toys.
Veo3 Google news got me excited.
When Google announced Veo 3, I watched all the demo videos. The colors, the motion, the detail — all looked clean.
I didn’t need it at first. But then I saw someone make a mini travel ad in under an hour. I thought, “Hmm. If I use Veo3 to create raw drafts, then refine them with my editor, I can save so much time.”
Veo3 finally fully lives in India.
Earlier, I was watching Google Veo3 from the sidelines, waiting for access. But now, Veo3 is finally fully available in India, and I started using it like crazy. Veo3 is Google’s AI video tool that turns text prompts into videos. You write what you want, and it creates it.
My first week with Google Veo3
When I finally got full access, I felt like a kid in a candy store. I started by making mini travel ad drafts. Then I created moodboards for clients and rough ideas for reels. Instead of spending hours finding reference clips or explaining a “vibe,” I typed: “A young woman runs on Marine Drive at sunrise, film-like look, smooth, steady camera.” Boom. I had a beautiful draft video in minutes.
How I Use Flow in India?
Now, I use Veo3 to:
- Draft quick ad ideas for clients.
- Create storyboards and pitch visuals.
- Make animated moodboards to test different styles.
- Save time on concept development before final shoots.
I don’t rely on it fully — the final cuts still need human editing. But as a brainstorming and prototyping tool, it’s a game-changer.
Veo3 vs Sora
I also tried Sora (OpenAI’s tool).
Veo3 feels more cinematic, like a short film or high-budget ad.
Sora feels more playful, almost like TikTok or quick meme-style stories.
When I showed both to a friend, he said:
“Veo3 looks like a Netflix teaser; Sora looks like a viral Reel.”
Both have their place, but for my client ads, Veo3 fits better.
The Flow + Veo3 combo
Now, I keep all my prompts, drafts, and client notes in Flow.
Then, I push prompts to Veo3, generate rough videos, and drop them back into Flow for feedback and final tweaks.
This combo saves me from having 50 random Google Docs, lost phone notes, and late-night edits.
Things I messed up
When I first started using Flow, I tried to overcomplicate it. I made 10 columns, added color codes, and set 50 reminders.
I spent more time organizing than creating. I felt like a librarian, not a creator. After a week, I deleted most columns. I kept it simple.
I also wrote super-long poetic prompts for Veo3. Result? Weird videos with glitchy hands and funny faces.
I learned to keep prompts short and clear. Like: “A woman running on a beach at sunrise, cinematic, smooth camera.” That’s it.
Simple prompts = better videos.
Small wins that mattered
I used both Flow and Google Veo3 side by side to manage a local restaurant’s campaign.
- 5 food videos
- 3 photo carousels
- 10 stories, all in 4 days
Before, I would have mixed up files or missed shots. Now, everything was tracked. The restaurant owner messaged: “Wow, you are super organized!” It didn’t feel like work. I just moved cards in Flow and used Veo3 to create mood shots.
What I learned about client trust?
When I show clients a simple Flow board and Veo3 drafts, they feel safe.
In India, many small business owners are scared of digital tools. But when they see visual drafts and simple columns, they nod.
I don’t give big lectures. I show them.
Why I stay curious?
I don’t call myself a tech wizard. I enjoy trying new things.
Veo3 isn’t a magic wand — it’s a helper.
When I see creators online showing off fancy 4K AI videos, I don’t get jealous. How can I use this without losing my style?
Some boring but useful details
- Flow works fine on basic laptops and budget Android phones.
- Needs a good internet connection (I use Jio and Airtel).
- I use the regular version; no paid plugins required.
- I always back up my drafts on Google Drive, just in case something goes wrong.
- Veo3 works on the cloud — you don’t need a GPU unless you’re doing super heavy stuff locally.
My plan for Veo3
Now that Veo3 is fully available in India, I use it to:
- Draft ad concepts for reels and YouTube.
- Test video moods before final production.
- Pitch ideas faster to clients.
I won’t replace final cuts with AI. Clients still love the human touch. But as a brainstorming buddy? Veo3 is now my new best friend.
Final thoughts (not a moral lecture)
Not everyone needs Flow or Veo3. But for me, Flow gave me back my mornings. I don’t check 20 apps before my first chai. Veo3 lets me think visually, move faster, and have fun experimenting. I might mess up some videos. I might create something cool. That’s what keeps me moving — trying, failing, sharing.
One last chai thought.
If you want to experiment, begin with something simple. Don’t overthink. I learned more from messing up than from any tutorial. If I can keep clients happy from my small room in Hyderabad, you can too. Happy creating!
