🧠 AI Term of The Week: Multimodal

Multimodal AI is a model that can understand and generate across multiple types of input like text, images, audio, and video all at once.

Instead of just reading or writing words, a multimodal model can do things like:

  • Look at an image and explain it

  • Watch a video and summarize it

  • Hear a sound and respond

  • Read a chart and answer questions about it

  • Or even combine all of the above

Why it matters:
Multimodal AI unlocks more human-like interaction. It sees, listens, reads, and speaks just like we do. Tools like GPT-4o, Gemini, and Claude Opus are already showing us what's possible.

For creators:
This means smarter workflows, faster idea generation, and way more creative potential, especially when you combine visuals, voice, and text in your builds.

🧰 AI Tool of The Week: Eleven Labs

ElevenLabs is no longer just a voice generator — it’s becoming a full audio studio powered by AI.

You can now:

  • Clone your voice with scary accuracy

  • Generate new voices with emotions, accents, and style

  • Create sound effects with text prompts (using the new Sound Effects tool)

  • Use their new Projects feature to assemble complete voiceovers with timing and narration tracks

It's a perfect match for a multimodal workflow:
Use ChatGPT for the script, Sora for visuals, and ElevenLabs for voice and sound. Just like that, you’ve built a video — no microphone or recording audio, no camers, no problem.
