Google Gemini Effect

GoogleGeminiEffect is a client-side decorative hero component with five animated SVG paths that reveal as their MotionValue progress changes. It includes configurable title, description, and outer-container styling, plus a fixed “ui.aceternity.com” CTA-style button.

Installation

pnpm dlx shadcn@latest add @aceternity/google-gemini-effect

Requires @aceternity in the registries of your components.json (shadcn adds official directory namespaces automatically).

Usage

usage.tsx
import { GoogleGeminiEffect } from "@/components/ui/google-gemini-effect";import { useMotionValue } from "motion/react";export function Hero() {  const pathLengths = [0, 1, 2, 3, 4].map(() => useMotionValue(0));  return <GoogleGeminiEffect pathLengths={pathLengths} />;}
  • Use as a visually rich landing-page hero or product introduction section.
  • Use when scroll-driven SVG path-reveal animation is part of the page experience.
  • Use for polished UI, developer-tool, AI, or creative technology marketing pages.
  • Use as a decorative focal point when the fixed Aceternity UI button label is acceptable or can be styled through surrounding layout only.

Examples

Custom product hero copy

Replace the default heading and supporting text while supplying five animated path values.

custom-product-hero-copy.tsx
import { GoogleGeminiEffect } from "@/components/ui/google-gemini-effect";import { useMotionValue } from "motion/react";export function ProductHero() {  const pathLengths = [0, 1, 2, 3, 4].map(() => useMotionValue(0));  return (    <GoogleGeminiEffect      pathLengths={pathLengths}      title="Build intelligent products"      description="Create fast, expressive interfaces for your next AI-powered experience."    />  );}

Scroll-driven path progress

Drive all five SVG paths from one scroll progress MotionValue.

scroll-driven-path-progress.tsx
import { GoogleGeminiEffect } from "@/components/ui/google-gemini-effect";import { useScroll } from "motion/react";export function ScrollHero() {  const { scrollYProgress } = useScroll();  return (    <GoogleGeminiEffect      pathLengths={[scrollYProgress, scrollYProgress, scrollYProgress, scrollYProgress, scrollYProgress]}      title="Scroll into the future"      description="The illustration responds as you move through the page."    />  );}

Custom outer spacing

Add a custom class to the component’s sticky outer container.

custom-outer-spacing.tsx
import { GoogleGeminiEffect } from "@/components/ui/google-gemini-effect";import { useMotionValue } from "motion/react";export function StyledHero() {  const pathLengths = [0, 1, 2, 3, 4].map(() => useMotionValue(0));  return (    <GoogleGeminiEffect      pathLengths={pathLengths}      className="min-h-screen bg-slate-950"      title="Ship better experiences"    />  );}

API reference

pathLengthsMotionValue[]—Required array of MotionValue instances used for the animated pathLength style of the five foreground SVG paths. The implementation reads indexes 0 through 4, so provide at least five values.

Accessibility

  • The component renders a native button containing the fixed “ui.aceternity.com” label, but it has no click handler or link destination; provide an appropriate surrounding interaction or modify the source if it is intended to navigate.
  • The SVG has no explicit accessible name and contains decorative animated paths. Consider marking it aria-hidden when integrating it into a page where the visual is purely decorative.
  • The title and description are rendered as paragraphs rather than heading and landmark elements, so provide an appropriate semantic heading elsewhere or adapt the source for document structure.
  • The component has no prefers-reduced-motion handling. Consider disabling or simplifying the MotionValue updates for users who request reduced motion.
  • Ensure sufficient contrast for the gradient heading, muted description, colored paths, and white button against the page background.
