Gemini 3.8 Live with Live Avatar (Generally Available)
A talking, lip-synced video avatar for voice agents built on Gemini 3.8 Live, now generally available for businesses in Gemini Enterprise.

Details
- Pairs near real-time video generation with speech, so the avatar lip-syncs, shows expressions, and takes turns naturally
- It can see a user's camera or shared screen while it talks, and can look up data or run tasks in the background without pausing the conversation
- Lip-sync works across 97 languages, including switching languages mid-conversation
- Businesses pick from a library of preset avatars; custom avatars made from a reference image require Google's approval
- All generated audio and video carry an invisible watermark marking them as AI-generated
- Available only through Gemini Enterprise, after a preview at Google Cloud Next 2026
