Definition
AI systems that process and generate multiple data types (text, images, audio, video) in a unified model.
In Depth
Multimodal models like GPT-4V, Claude 3, and Gemini can understand images alongside text, analyze charts, read handwriting, and reason across modalities simultaneously. This enables richer, more natural interactions.
Example Usage
Uploading a photo of a whiteboard sketch and asking Claude to convert it into a formatted requirements document.
Business Context
Multimodal AI removes the need for separate tools for different data types. One model can process invoices (images), contracts (PDFs), and verbal instructions (audio) in a unified workflow.
