Multimodal AI: The New Frontier

An agent that only understands text is limited. Multimodal agents use models like Gemini 1.5 Pro or GPT-4o to process images, video, and audio in real-time.

Use Cases for Multimodality

From AI security guards that watch video feeds to automated designers that review UI mockups, multimodality opens up 90% of business tasks that were previously un-automatable.

The Challenge of Latency

Processing vision and voice takes more compute. Developers need to learn how to optimize their agents for speed while maintaining multimodal reasoning capability.
