Google’s Gemini 3.8 Live gains real-time 'Live Avatar' (enterprise only)

Google added a 'Live Avatar' feature to Gemini 3.8 Live that renders an animated persona which lip-syncs and shows facial expressions in near real-time; the capability is currently available only to Gemini Enterprise customers. Google says the avatar can transition across the 97 supported languages without visual drift, surface on‑screen information while speaking, and outputs include an invisible SynthID watermark; organizations can choose preset avatars or create custom ones.
