Key insights

Concrete technical or product signals.

  • Multimodal prompts can significantly improve the accuracy of QA systems by providing richer context.
  • Effective prompt design is iterative and requires testing across various document types.

Use cases

Where this shines in production.

  • Creating intelligent document review systems that analyze both text and images.
  • Developing educational tools that answer questions based on textbooks with illustrations.

Limitations & trade-offs

What to watch for.

  • Multimodal models may require more computational resources than text-only models.
  • The effectiveness of prompts can vary widely based on the document's content and structure.

Introduction to Multimodal Prompts

This tutorial focuses on designing prompts that leverage both text and visual data for enhanced document QA.

Prompt Design Principles

  1. Combine Text and Images: Use both modalities to provide context for questions.
  2. Iterate on Prompt Structure: Experiment with different prompt formats to optimize performance.
