Multimodal AI

Multimodal AI refers to models that can process and generate multiple types of content — text, images, audio, video — rather than just one. Most early AI models were text-only. Modern multimodal models can analyze an image and describe it, read a chart and interpret the data, transcribe audio and summarize the content, or generate images from text descriptions.

For businesses, multimodal AI opens up use cases that weren't possible with text-only tools: analyzing visual reports, processing scanned documents, reviewing design mockups, or working with video content.
