Introduction

Multimodal AI represents a paradigm shift in how you can use and interact with Generative AI experiences. You may have taken courses that focused on the building blocks of text generation, using tools like OpenAI or Gemini. However, multimodal AI extends beyond text, allowing you to interact with images and speech as well.

If this concept seems confusing, don’t worry. In this lesson, you’ll gain a clear understanding of multimodal AI applications and their benefits. Additionally, you’ll delve into OpenAI’s solutions in these areas and the tools they offer for developing multimodal AI apps.

Before diving into development, you’ll learn how to build a multimodal AI app. This lesson will also enhance your understanding of current AI technology, exploring what multimodal AI applications can achieve today and where their limitations lie.
