Multimodal Embeddings

Embedding models that place text, images, video, audio, and documents into a single shared vector space, allowing cross-modal retrieval from one query. Gemini Embedding 2 is the first natively multimodal model in this category. Enables practical applications like troubleshooting a 68-page vacuum manual by retrieving both text steps and diagrams, or matching uploaded roof photos against a database of past projects with cost metadata.

The useful next step is to connect this concept back to applied product leadership and operating models.
