Google has rolled out the Gemini 3.8 Live version across India, adding the ability for the AI chatbot to understand and reply in several Indian dialects.
Google announced the release of Gemini 3.8 Live, the latest iteration of its AI conversational platform, for users throughout India. The update is now live on the company's suite of services, including the search app and the Gemini web interface.
A key enhancement in this version is multilingual support that extends beyond standard Hindi and English to include a range of regional dialects such as Bengali, Tamil, Marathi, and Gujarati. Users can type or speak in their native tongue and receive responses that reflect local linguistic nuances.
Industry analysts view the move as a strategic step to deepen AI adoption in a linguistically diverse market. By catering to regional language preferences, Google aims to make its generative AI tools more accessible to a broader segment of Indian internet users. The Gemini 3.8 Live features are available immediately to anyone with a Google account in the country.
