Overview

  • Search Live, which lets people talk to Google Search, began rolling out Thursday to every country and language where AI Mode is offered, covering more than 200 regions.
  • The feature supports voice chats and optional camera input in the Google app, so users can ask aloud and show what they see for real-time help.
  • Gemini 3.1 Flash Live powers the launch with support for 90-plus languages, faster replies, and a longer conversation window, and it is available to developers in preview.
  • Google is embedding SynthID watermarks in audio the model generates to help identify AI-made speech as the voices sound more human.
  • Google Translate’s Live Translate for headphones is expanding to iOS and more countries, bringing real-time audio translation in over 70 languages to any pair of headphones.
