¿Qué es Multimodal AI?
Multimodal AI procesa múltiples tipos de datos simultáneamente, replicando cómo los humanos percibimos el mundo.
No es solo OCR o speech-to-text. Es comprensión contextual profunda across modalidades.
Por Qué Importa Ahora
El Cambio de Paradigma
IA Tradicional (Unimodal):
# Proceso separado por tipo
text_result = process_text(document)
image_result = process_image(photo)
audio_result = process_audio(recording)
# Sin conexión entre resultados
IA Multimodal:
# Proceso integrado
result = multimodal_model.process({
'text': document,
'image': photo,
'audio': recording
})
# Comprensión holística con contexto cruzado
Casos de Uso en Producción

1. Count products by SKU
2. Identify empty spaces
3. Check product placement
