What is Multimodal AI?
Multimodal AI is artificial intelligence that can take in or produce more than one type of data, such as text, images, audio and video, within a single model or system. Rather than using a separate tool for each format, it can reason across them, for example answering questions about a photo or chart.
Why it matters for your business
Much business information lives in scans, photos, diagrams and recordings. Multimodal models can work with that content directly instead of requiring it to be converted to text first.
A field technician photographs a damaged part, and a multimodal assistant identifies the component, looks up its part number and drafts a replacement order.
