Taking ChatGPT as a reference and, in particular, the mode Advanced Voice by GPT-4oa first consideration that must be made concerns the fact that the OpenAI one is available exclusively for profiles who have a subscription to ChatGPT Plus and Team, at least in the European Union. Not to mention Apple Intelligence which, due to the DMA, will not arrive in Europe (at least not soon). Unlike these, however, Gemini Live is free and available to everyone.
