Understand More Than the Message.

Interpret the images, videos, and links customers share—then use that context to keep the conversation moving.

Agent understanding

The image shows the product type and visible setup. The customer wants a compatible option.

Yes—I can help compare it. Which detail matters most: size, material, or price?

Beyond text alone

What Is Multimodal Understanding?

It gives an AI Customer Agent more of the context a customer is already trying to share—not only the words they type.

  1. 1Media Arrives

    An image, video, or accessible link becomes part of the customer conversation.

Three ways customers add context

Customers Can Show What They Mean

A file or page can carry the detail that never makes it into a short message. Choose a card to see how each input changes the conversation.

Image understanding

See what the customer is pointing to

A customer can share a product, a screenshot, a label, or a visible problem. The Agent can use what is visible as context, then clarify what the image does not establish.

Context found. Ask a focused follow-up before giving a definitive answer.

Video understanding

Follow a short visual explanation

A short video can show sequence, movement, or the moment something goes wrong. The Agent can interpret relevant visible information without turning the conversation into a video call.

Link understanding

Read the page behind the question

A shared page can explain the product, plan, offer, or reference the customer means. The Agent can combine accessible page context with the conversation and approved business knowledge.

Conversation first

The Media Is Only One Part of the Conversation

Useful understanding comes from combining the shared media with what the customer has already said and what your business has approved.

Less rewriting

What Customers Can Show Instead of Rewriting

Multimodal understanding is most useful when a customer has context in front of them but does not have the words—or the patience—to reproduce it.

A screenshot instead of a transcript

The customer shares the screen they are looking at and asks what to do next.

A clip instead of a long explanation

The customer shows the sequence or visible issue that is difficult to describe in one message.

A page instead of a product name

The customer shares the exact page, offer, or reference they want to discuss.

Media plus a short question

The Agent considers both the attachment and the words around it—not the file in isolation.

Boundaries matter

Know When to Clarify or Hand Off

More context does not remove uncertainty. A focused Agent should say when an input is unclear, ask for the missing detail, and make room for human judgment.
Blurry, cropped, or incomplete images

Ask for a clearer view or the missing detail instead of guessing.

Long or unclear videos

Narrow the question or request the relevant moment.

Private, unavailable, or unsafe links

Do not claim to have read content that could not be accessed.

Sensitive information or irreversible decisions

Follow the rules you define and move judgment or approval to a person.

Test before launch

Test What the Agent Sees Before Customers Rely on It

Use realistic media, incomplete examples, and explicit handoff requests. The goal is not only a fluent reply—it is a reply that stays inside the role you defined.

Try real inputs

Use the image quality, video length, and links customers actually send.

Check uncertain cases

Confirm the Agent clarifies instead of filling gaps with assumptions.

Test the handoff

Make sure a person can enter when the question needs judgment or access.

Frequently asked questions

Multimodal Understanding FAQ

It is customer support that can consider more than text. In Dealism, an Agent can interpret relevant information from images, videos, and accessible links shared in a conversation, then use that context to support its next response.
Dealism can interpret relevant visible information in supported image inputs. Image quality, cropping, and missing context can affect what is available, so the Agent should clarify when an answer is uncertain.
It can interpret relevant information from supported video inputs. This does not mean joining real-time video calls or guaranteeing that every detail in a long or unclear clip will be understood.
When the linked page is accessible, the Agent can use relevant page information as conversation context. Private, blocked, unavailable, or unsafe pages may require a clarification or human review.
This page focuses on images, videos, and links. For spoken messages, see Voice Message Understanding.
No. Media can be incomplete, ambiguous, low quality, inaccessible, or outside the Agent’s approved scope. Good configuration includes rules for clarification and human handoff.
You can define its goal, instructions, knowledge, conversation rules, and handoff boundaries. Learn more about Independent Agent Configuration.
Availability depends on the connected channel and the media types that connection supports. Test each active channel and media format before relying on it in customer conversations.

More context. Better next moves.

Show More. Explain Less. Keep the Conversation Moving.

Let customers share the image, video, or link already in front of them. Give your Agent the context and boundaries to respond usefully.
