Multimodal AI

AI that works across text, images, audio and video together.

Multimodal models process more than text: they read images, hear audio, and watch video, combining those inputs with language. This enables document understanding (reading scanned pages), visual assistants (describing and analyzing images), voice-native agents, and video analysis. For businesses, multimodal means the documents and media you already have become processable data.

Example from practice

Your accounts assistant reads a photographed receipt, extracts the total and category, and files it: vision plus language in one step.
