Difference between Gemini Live and ChatGPT

Similar to Gemini Live, ChatGPT's "Advanced Voice" feature allows you to have conversations with AI using voice. However, Gemini Live excels in its seamless integration with Google services, providing a more streamlined user experience. Also, Gemini Live is expected to be offered for free, whereas ChatGPT's "Advanced Voice" is a feature exclusive to ChatGPT Plus/Team paying users.

Potential Expansion with Japanese Language Support

Until now, Gemini Live has been mainly used in English-speaking countries, but with Japanese language support, its use in Japan is expected to become more widespread. More users will be able to benefit from AI through natural conversations in Japanese.

For example, not only will information retrieval in Japanese become easier, but it can also be used for creative activities such as writing novels and poems in Japanese. Also, for elderly people and visually impaired individuals who have difficulty with character input, Gemini Live, which can be operated by voice, will be a great help.

Future Outlook

Google plans to further enhance Gemini Live's functionality. For example, multilingual support is planned to be strengthened, allowing the simultaneous handling of multiple languages. Support for iOS devices is also planned, allowing more users to use Gemini Live.

Gemini Live is a groundbreaking service that makes communication between AI and humans more natural and smoother. With Japanese language support, its potential in Japan is expected to expand greatly. Why not try the experience of stimulating new discoveries and creativity through conversations with AI?
