What is Multimodal AI? Text, Image, Voice, Video Explained (2026)

Описание: Today's AI doesn't just read — it sees, hears, and watches. Full plain-English explainer of multimodal AI in under 6 minutes. No hype. No jargon.

What you'll learn:
• The pen-pal-to-video-call analogy
• The 3 pillars: one model many inputs, shared semantic space (embeddings), any output too
• Real tools: GPT-4o, Gemini, Claude vision, ElevenLabs, Sora, Veo
• When to use it (screenshots + chat, voice while driving, image search)
• When NOT to use it (cheaper text models, precise math, private data via voice)
