Gemini Adds 5 Native Features ChatGPT Still Cannot Match

Summary
Five Gemini capabilities highlighted in the latest comparison go beyond standard chat: it can generate a finished song, search Google Photos, turn documents into podcast-style audio, build a personal avatar and analyze YouTube links natively.
Lyria 3 inside Gemini can create downloadable MP3 or MP4 songs, while Audio Overviews convert reports, presentations and notebooks into two-host conversations that users can listen to, share or save.
Google’s ecosystem gives Gemini two practical edges: it can search a connected Google Photos library by people, places or objects, and it can summarize or answer questions from public YouTube links inside its web and mobile apps.
Paid subscribers can also build a Personal Gemini Avatar using face and voice recordings, though several features depend on device, account type, subscription tier, age and region.
The comparison underscores Google’s strategy of tying Gemini to services it already controls, making some features harder for ChatGPT to replicate natively.
