Is there a list of features you loose from the stock Pixel rom to GrapheneOS?

Hi everyone, as far as I understood, grapheneos is way different from the stock rom, and tou loose of course the Google services and every things connected, like Gemini etc. But what other features, new animations, fonts, and other fine and finer details in the day to day use would someone that choose GOS loose?
Thanks in advance!

loose of course the Google services and every things connected

if you choose to.
play services could be installed from GOS app store and then run sandboxed.

you 100% lose google pay via NFC on GOS but play store etc could be used.

also you lose apps that enforce play integrity check.

vlad but I imagine that even allowing some, you wouldn't have the possibility to integrate any ai systemwise, like Gemini, right? I'm the first one to say that this ai madness is just exaggerated, but how Google implemented it on some case is very neat. I wish for an open source secure alternative in the future

I'm not sure what Gemini as an LLM has to offer while integrated other than translation. The other AI systems Google has mentioned are for photography and captioning. It works on the website too I'm pretty sure so there's no need to install it
