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.
