Multimodal AI

Multimodal AI can work with more than one kind of input or output, such as text, images, audio and video, in the same conversation.

In practice: You can show it a screenshot and ask what is wrong, speak to it and get a spoken reply, or upload a chart and ask for a summary. Newer general assistants are multimodal; many specialised tools still handle only one type.

Why it matters when picking a tool

A multimodal assistant can replace several single-purpose tools for light use. For heavy or professional work, specialised tools usually still do each job better. Check which inputs are included on your plan, since image, voice and video features are often limited or paid extras.
