8 exciting new Gemini features you can’t get with ChatGPT

Gemini Live: Making a call on behalf of the user.

After last year's I/O 2024, which was dedicated to new Gemini AI features, much like yesterday's I/O 2025 keynote, I wondered who won the AI duel we had just witnessed. Last year, OpenAI brilliantly ambushed Google with a massive ChatGPT event hosted a day before the I/O keynote.

OpenAI beat Google to the punch, giving ChatGPT multimodal features and a voice mode before Google unveiled similar features for Gemini. At the same time, I said last year that the I/O 2024 keynote felt like a tour de force from Google when it comes to Gemini AI abilities. There really was nothing else that mattered at last year's event other than Gemini.

A ChatGPT event did not precede this year's I/O 2025. There's no battle for the limelight between ChatGPT and Google. But given what we saw on Tuesday from Sundar Pichai & Co., I don't know what OpenAI could have launched before Google's event to make us ignore all the Gemini-powered AI novelties that Google presented.

I/O 2025 was an even bigger display of force than last year. Gemini is even more powerful and faster than before. It's also getting deeper integration in Google's apps and services, making it a more useful tool for anyone excited about AI, even a little bit.

The best part is that Google unveiled a bunch of exciting AI features that have no equivalents from OpenAI. I should know. It's not just that I've been covering ChatGPT and all AI news for a while now, but ChatGPT is my default AI right now. And I envy several Gemini novelties that OpenAI can't possibly match.

Some of them are obvious, and I'm referring to the ties between Gemini and Google, something OpenAI can't match. And some of the Gemini features that Google unveiled are not ready for a wide commercial rollout. That doesn't change the fact that Google is taking a big lead over ChatGPT, and I can't help but wonder how OpenAI will respond.
