Summary
Google’s new Gemini 3.8 Live update lets users have conversations with the model while watching an animated AI persona respond in real time. As noted by Google, Live Avatar can transition between the 97 languages it supports “without degrading video fidelity or introducing visual drift.” One video shared by Google shows its Live Avatar talking in English and Japanese, with its mouth animation lining up with what it’s saying in both languages.

The launch of Live Avatar comes about a week after Google revealed its new Gemini 3.8 Live model, which the company says “processes visual inputs in near real-time.” Though Google will offer a library of preset avatars for customers to choose from, it will also allow organizations to create their own. Gemini 4 is almost ready, says new Google DeepMind chief.
