Directly Analyze Multimedia Files with Multimodal Prompts
Analyze video, audio, and text in a single prompt.
Leverage Gemini's multimodal capabilities to analyze non-text media directly without needing manual transcription or separate processing tools.
The Scenario
You have a library of recorded Zoom meetings and need to quickly find specific project updates without watching hours of footage.
Before & after
Knowledge workers manually watch videos or listen to audio recordings while taking notes to synthesize information. This often takes 2-3x the duration of the media itself.
Integrate multimodal prompt requests using Gemini to process audio, video, and text simultaneously. A single prompt can extract insights from a 10-minute video in under 2 minutes.
The Prompt
I am providing a [VIDEO/AUDIO] file of a [MEETING/LECTURE]. Please provide a summary of the three most important actionable items and identify any points of disagreement.
The Gemini model family is built to be natively multimodal. This means you don't need separate transcription or OCR steps; you can pass the media file directly to the API alongside your text instructions.
