Multimodal
Also said as
multi-modalmultimodal model
A multimodal model handles more than text — images, audio, or screenshots alongside words — in the same conversation.
Why it matters to your business
It's why you can hand a tool a photo of a receipt or a screenshot of an error and get useful output — the capability is arriving in local tools, not just cloud ones.
The catch · what vendors don't say
'Multimodal' in a feature list doesn't tell you how well each mode works — image understanding and text quality are different dials.
