Explaining the Main Types of Generative AI

Understand text generation, image generation, audio, video, code generation, embeddings, RAG, multimodal models, and agents.

Generative AI creates new content from learned patterns. That content can be text, code, images, audio, video, structured data, or a mix of modalities.

Text models are used for writing, summarization, extraction, reasoning, and assistants. Code models help generate, review, migrate, and explain software.

Image, audio, and video models create media assets, transform existing content, and support creative production workflows.

Embeddings and RAG are essential for product work. They help AI systems retrieve private or domain-specific knowledge before generating answers.
