"LLM + speech" was such an obvious and inevitable idea, so their only advantage was rushing to sell to the early adopters. It could have been an app, but the margin on a device is higher. But early adopters with novice coding ability realized the openAI API is just a single curl command. I like the free voice call modes the chatgpt and gemini apps have now, but I'm still using my homemade slapped-together phone and laptop apps (if you can call a few lines of shell script an app) since the groqcloud API is soooo much faster than openAI (instant really) and has `whisper-large-v3` & `llama-3.1-70b-versatile`.
