What users say
Pros
- Explains difficult topics step by step with clear examples for homework, essays and revision.
- Voice calls sound like a real human for hands-free conversation, and voice input copes with mixed languages.
- Built-in image generator creates logos, reference art and historical scenes without requiring artistic skill.
- Memory carries details across separate chats, and saved memories can be edited.
Cons
- Free-plan limits on uploads, images and voice run out quickly, and ads and upgrade prompts keep appearing.
- Saved memory misbehaves: deleted memories come back, saved notes get rewritten, and edited messages are still remembered.
- Recent app updates broke basics: messages vanish, uploads fail in the background and image or file tools go missing.
- Answers can be confidently wrong on factual claims and simple counts, requiring manual double-checking.
