The Multimodal API unifies diverse data streams (text, image, audio, video) into a single model, enabling advanced reasoning and cross-modal content generation.

This API is your single-point interface for complex AI tasks: it processes multiple data modalities simultaneously. It moves beyond text-only, integrating inputs like images, video, and audio to enable deeper context and more robust outputs. For example, the Gemini API allows you to upload an image and a text prompt to extract text, convert it to JSON, and answer questions about the content. This capability is critical for use cases like smart search, real-time video summarization, and advanced customer support systems. It supports both standard REST and real-time WebSocket streaming (BidiGenerateContent) for low-latency, interactive applications.

## Recent Public Talks and Demos

### [Leveraging AI to find art in a chart](https://poland.aitinkerers.org/talks/rsvp_wVBm7O7jshQ)

The journey of building Quesma Charts, the AI product that turns data into beautiful charts. The product was initially showcased at Data Council in April 2025 in the San Francisco Bay Area, and we continue to work on it full-time. The talk will explore different phases of chart generation, our approaches and how they performed.
