Why generative AI and multimodal apps?
Multimodal AI has the ability to understand and process different types of data, including text, images, video, and audio, paving the way to a future where technology understands us in every way we communicate. . This isn’t just about improving the user interface. It’s about rethinking how we interact with machines and making those interactions as intuitive and natural as talking to a friend.
At the forefront of AI research and development, Microsoft aims to inspire and mobilize the developer community by providing a platform for innovation. Through Azure AI, developers have access to a rich suite of tools that allow them to create cutting-edge multimodal experiences that make technology better for people. This includes Azure AI Studio, his GPT-4 Turbo with Vision, his DALL-E3 for image generation, Text-to-Speech technology, and a model catalog of over 1600 models. His GitHub Copilot, an AI-driven coding assistant, helps you improve your coding experience and quality in VS Code and accelerate the development of multimodal apps.
So what are the creative ideas and solutions that solve problems for people and organizations?
