Google Launches Gemini 3.8 Live with Real-Time Avatars for Enterprises
Google has introduced Gemini 3.8 Live with a new Live Avatar feature for enterprise customers. The technology combines speech dialogue with near-real-time generated video, providing digital assistants with a visible, animated presence. Available immediately through Gemini Enterprise, the feature processes audio and visual inputs simultaneously to generate speech, facial expressions, and lip movements of a digital avatar. It supports native speech-to-speech communication in 97 languages, with avatar lip-sync and expressions adapting dynamically. Google positions the technology for customer service, advisory, and interactive digital companionship. Enterprises can also create custom avatars from reference images (initially via allowlist) and all outputs are watermarked with SynthID for authenticity. The system supports asynchronous tool execution during conversations, enabling complex business processes without interrupting the dialogue.
