What are multimodal artificial intelligence experiences?

A multimodal artificial intelligence experience is when a smart machine uses more than one way to understand or interact with you.

Imagine you're playing with your favorite toy, maybe it's a robot that talks, moves, and even shows pictures. That robot isn't just listening to your voice; it’s also looking at what you’re doing and maybe even feeling how hard you press its buttons. All of these ways, hearing, seeing, and feeling, are like different languages the robot uses to understand you better.

Think about your toy robot again. If it only heard your voice, it might not know if you're happy or sad, just that you said something. But if it can also see your face and feel how you’re holding it, it gets a much clearer picture of what's going on.

This is like having a friend who doesn’t just listen to you but also watches your expressions and feels how you're moving. That friend can understand you in more ways, and that’s exactly what multimodal artificial intelligence does!
