Google Introduces Gemini 3.8 Live with Live Avatar for Enterprise Conversational AI

Google Introduces Gemini 3.8 Live with Live Avatar for Enterprise Conversational AI Google has launched Gemini 3.8 Live with Live Avatar in Gemini Enterprise, pairing low-latency streaming video generation with native live dialogue models to deliver interactive visual personas. Live Avatar combines real-time video generation with speech, offering precise lip-syncing, natural facial expressions, and fluid turn-taking. The system supports asynchronous tool calling to query data in the background while maintaining continuous spoken dialogue. Multilingual speech-to-speech synchronization dynamically adapts expressions and lip-sync across 97 languages without visual drift. Enterprises can customize avatars from reference images via allowlisting, and all outputs are watermarked with SynthID for provenance. Multimodal Dialogue and Asynchronous Tools Gemini 3.8 Live with Live Avatar processes audio and visual inputs simultaneously to generate responsive speech and video. Backed by Gemini's reasoning capabilities, the model employs asynchronous tool execution, allowing it to perform background tasks like hotel check-ins or data retrieval without interrupting active conversation. Multilingual Adaptability and Customization Designed for global deployments, the avatar system incorporates native speech-to-speech synchronization that transitions mid-conversation across 97 languages without degrading video fidelity. Along with preset characters, organizations can generate custom animated avatars from a high-quality reference image through an enterprise allowlist. Watermarking and Enterprise Availability To address safety, transparency, and identity concerns, all generated audio and video streams are embedded with imperceptible SynthID watermarks to keep AI content detectable. Gemini 3.8 Live with Live Avatar is available immediately in Gemini Enterprise.

Sep 24, 2026 | Gemini 3.8 Live with Live Avatar brings real-time visual presence to Gemini’s conversational AI. By natively coupling our live dialogue capabilities with low-latency streaming video, Live Avatar enables a more natural and intuitive conversational experience for enterprises and their users. Shuo-yiin Chang Research Scientist CJ Zheng Software Engineer, on behalf of the Gemini Audio Team Building on the momentum of last week's Gemini 3.8 Live launch, today we are excited to introduce Gemini 3.8 Live with Live Avatar — bringing near real-time visual presence to our native live dialogue models. By pairing near real-time video generation with speech, the Live Avatar feature creates an experience that listens, sees, and speaks with a dynamic visual persona. With precise lip-syncing, natural expressions, and fluid turn-taking, Live Avatar enables enterprises to expand their virtual offerings more interactively. Whether providing engaging customer service or delivering interactive walkthroughs, it transforms digital exchanges into richer, more accessible experiences. Starting today, Gemini 3.8 Live with Live Avatar is available in Gemini Enterprise. See how Gemini 3.8 Live with Live Avatar supports a wide range of characters, each with a distinct look, voice, and expressive presence. More natural and multimodal conversations Conversation is inherently multimodal: we listen, look, speak, and use facial expressions to communicate. Live Avatar brings these capabilities to enterprise agents. By processing visual and audio inputs simultaneously, it generates enriching conversations for a more comprehensive experience. Watch how Gemini 3.8 Live with Live Avatar takes in what it sees and hears in near real time, responding with expressive audio and video for a more natural conversation. Asynchronous tool execution with continuous presence Beyond visual presence, the feature is backed by Gemini’s advanced reasoning. With asynchronous tool calling, Live Avatar can trigger tool calls and fetch data in the background while continuing active dialogue, handling complex tasks while ensuring an uninterrupted conversational flow. See how Gemini 3.8 Live with Live Avatar handles complex tasks like checking in a guest at a hotel. Calling tools in the background while the dialogue continues uninterrupted. Conversational experiences built for global scale Conversational presence should feel natural and not be limited by languages. Live Avatar features native multilingual speech-to-speech synchronization. The feature dynamically adapts its lip-sync and expressions and can seamlessly transition across 97 languages without degrading video fidelity or introducing visual drift. Watch how Gemini 3.8 Live Avatar switches between languages mid-conversation, with lip-sync and expressions adapting seamlessly across 97 languages. A Live Avatar to fit your brand needs Organizations often need distinct visual identities to fit their brand. In addition to a library of diverse, preset avatars, organizations can customize their Live Avatars. From a high-quality reference image, developers can generate a fully animated, responsive avatar while preserving reference likeness, brand styling, or character identity. Custom avatar creation is currently available only through enterprise allowlisting. Trust and transparency at its core We built Live Avatar with strict safeguards designed to respect identity, and keep AI-generated content transparent. All output generated by our AI products is watermarked with SynthID . This imperceptible watermark is woven directly into the audio and video output, helping to ensure AI-generated content remains detectable to help minimise misinformation and misattribution.
