PRODUCTION SCENARIO

Which capability should the team build on?
Answering here is anonymous. Nothing is saved unless you sign in.
Show answer and explanation
Answer: The Gemini Live API, which streams audio with barge-in and affective dialog
The Gemini Live API handles low-latency, two-way voice and video, processing a continuous audio stream so it can answer immediately, allow barge-in when a shopper cuts in, and use affective dialog to respond to how the caller sounds. Streaming text or speech synthesis on its own gives none of those conversational behaviors.
