Nova + Gemini
Gemini Live Voice Agent Integration
Nova SDK supports Google Gemini Live as a first-class voice AI provider. Same SDK. Same event surface. Switch between Gemini and OpenAI Realtime with a single config change.
Gemini Live configuration
// Configure Nova to use Gemini Live
const nova = new Nova({
apiKey: process.env.NOVA_API_KEY,
provider: "gemini-live",
model: "gemini-2.0-flash-live",
})Nova normalizes Gemini Live events to the same interface as OpenAI Realtime and Grok Voice. Session config and event handlers work identically across all three. Capabilities differ by provider — tool calling, file search, and RAG run on the OpenAI provider today.
