What Happened

It has given Gemini a few creative tools that ChatGPT still doesn’t offer, too. You can create a finished song, turn a research report into a podcast and build a reusable AI version of yourself.

• ChatGPT remains my choice for plenty of everyday work, but Google is using its existing products to give Gemini abilities that are difficult for another chatbot to copy.

• Connecting YouTube lets it personalize some results using your viewing history.

• Gemini can also find relevant videos, playlists and channels before answering questions about their content.

Key Details

I use both assistants regularly, and these are five things Gemini can currently do that ChatGPT cannot do natively. Of course, availability of these Gemini features depends on your device, account, subscription and location, so you may not see every feature yet.

• With Gemini, I can paste the link into a chat and ask for the information I actually need.

• I often find a useful YouTube video and immediately wish I could skip the introduction, sponsorship and repeated explanations.

• You can also create a custom gem with a prompt such as: "Generate a 3D digital illustration of a friendly male developer with short brown hair and round glasses, wearing a dark blue hoodie.

Why It Matters

ChatGPT can write lyrics, suggest chord progressions and help plan a song. But it still does not have the ability to take that prompt and hand you a finished track with music and vocals.

• Once recorded, you can summon yourself in Gemini prompts using @me or @[your username].

• You will be asked to turn your head side-to-side and read out lines of text so Gemini can map your facial structure and voice profile.
