## Two new models
Google is rolling out Gemini 3.8 Live and Gemini 3.8 Live Extended Thinking to power voice agents for developers and enterprises.
## Built for different jobs
Gemini 3.8 Live targets scale and cost efficiency. Extended Thinking is meant for harder tasks, with pricing Google says can compete with other frontier models.
## More natural talk
Both models add near real-time reasoning so voice agents can respond faster and feel less scripted during conversations.

## Enterprise voice stack
Google is pitching the models as production-ready building blocks for companies that want AI agents in customer support, sales and internal workflows.
## Voice moves to action
PYMNTS frames voice as a bridge between large language models and transactions, because speaking can reduce friction when customers are ready to buy.
## Workspace gets louder
Google is also adding voice AI to Gmail, Docs and Keep, letting users search emails, build documents and turn spoken ideas into lists or notes.

## Key takeaway

Voice AI is moving from simple chat toward agent systems that can reason, act and handle business workflows.
