The next update to Google’s artificial intelligence model, Gemini 3.8 Live, will allow users to hold conversations with the bot while watching the animated avatar respond to different prompts online. The new Live Avatar feature is used to synchronize the movements of the avatar’s lips with the AI bot’s speech, as well as changing facial expressions while speaking to the user.

Google says avatars can switch between 97 supported languages “No loss of image quality or visual distortion”. In one of the live demonstration videos, the avatar communicates in English and Japanese, and the animation of the avatar’s mouth is exactly the same as what the artificial intelligence robot speaks in both languages. In addition, during the conversation, the avatar can display messages on the screen at the same time.
The launch of Live Avatar comes roughly a week after Google unveiled its Gemini 3.8 Live AI model, which the company said will “Near-instant processing of visual data”. In addition to choosing from a library of ready-made avatars, users can create their own instant avatar looks. It is worth noting that the data generated by the algorithm carries a SynthID watermark, which is invisible to humans. In addition, protective measures are provided “Follow image usage rules”. At this stage, this innovation is only available to Gemini Enterprise subscribers.
