GPT Realtime Assistant — features and limitations

Use this table to decide whether a workflow fits your task. Product version, device support and active plan can change what is available.

Capability What the product documents Boundary to check
Two-way interpretation The public site describes 58 languages, Translate Both Ways and Speak Translations. Language support and accuracy vary. Have speakers take turns and confirm important names and numbers.
Live assistance Voice sessions, running transcripts and contextual answers. Generated answers and transcripts may be wrong. Review them before turning them into decisions or tasks.
Visual context Attach a screenshot, photo or supported Mac screen/window capture to a session. Only share the material needed for the question. Online attachments are sent to the AI service.
Structured workspace 17 session templates, projects, tasks, reminders and word-highlighted readback. A saved task is not proof that another participant agreed to it. Verify ownership, dates and wording.
Offline Mac mode Downloaded Whisper Large v3 Turbo and Qwen 3 8B on Apple Silicon Mac for local transcription and written answers. Requires setup/downloads and an active subscription. Do not assume this provides the same speech-to-speech and visual capabilities as online mode.
Credits Monthly subscription includes 2,000 AI credits; optional top-ups are listed. Credits are usage-based, not guaranteed minutes. Zero-credit local operation does not mean subscription-free access.

Before changing a workflow

Keep the source material until you have checked the result. A supported format or visible option does not guarantee that every input will work identically. Test the smallest example that includes the property you care about: text, timing, a formula, a recurring event, metadata or a language pair.

Pricing and availability

Consult the current app and storefront for local prices, taxes, renewals and entitlements. These guides do not make a fixed regional price or lifetime-availability promise. Product-specific free/paid distinctions are recorded above only where the public materials describe them.
