Computer Vision
Computer vision is a field of AI that enables machines to interpret and understand visual information from images, videos, and other visual inputs.
In Depth
Computer vision extends AI support capabilities beyond text and voice into the visual domain. In customer support, it enables powerful use cases: customers can photograph a damaged product and the AI can automatically assess the damage, classify the issue, and initiate a return. Technical support can analyze screenshots of error messages to diagnose problems.
Insurance claims can be processed by analyzing photos of damage. Shipping teams can verify package conditions from delivery photos. Computer vision also powers visual search (finding products from photos), document processing (extracting data from scanned forms), and identity verification (matching ID photos to selfies).
When combined with NLP in multi-modal AI agents, computer vision creates support experiences where customers can simply show their problem instead of trying to describe it in words.

Multi-modal AI support uses AI models capable of processing and generating multiple data types — text, images, audio, and video — to handle customer interactions that involve more than just written text.
Deep Learning
Deep learning is a subset of machine learning that uses multi-layered neural networks to learn complex patterns and representations from large volumes of data.
Optical Character Recognition
Optical character recognition (OCR) is the technology that extracts text from images, scanned documents, and photos, converting visual text into machine-readable data.
