Google announced Gemini 3.8 Live with Live Avatar on September 24, 2026, and says it is available in Gemini Enterprise. The announcement also points developers to API documentation, but does not specify API pricing or general API availability.
Organizations can choose from preset avatars or customize them from a reference image. Custom avatar creation is currently available only through enterprise allowlisting.
What Live Avatar does
Google describes Live Avatar as combining live dialogue with low-latency video generation and speech. The company says it supports visual and audio inputs, expressive audio and video responses, and background tool calls while dialogue continues.
Google says the feature supports synchronized speech across 97 languages and that generated audio and video are watermarked with SynthID. These are capabilities and safeguards described by Google; the announcement does not provide independent performance measurements.
