Global accessibility

The Gemini 3.1 Flash Live model is integrated into Gemini Live and Search Live for end users.

Google has expanded Search Live to over 200 countries and territories, enabling real-time interaction with search using voice and multimodal inputs.

The model supports voice-first applications such as customer service systems, virtual assistants, and real-time troubleshooting tools in noisy environments.

Google embeds SynthID watermarking in audio generated using Gemini
Responsible AI

Google has also embedded SynthID watermarking in all audio generated using the Gemini 3.1 Flash Live model.

This imperceptible signal helps identify AI-generated content and reduce misuse.

With this update, Google is taking a major leap toward real-time, conversational AI across its products and services while ensuring responsible use of technology.
