Learning roadmap

Multimodal & Voice AI

Build with text, image, and audio together: the modality tradeoffs, a voice pipeline that survives real conversation, vision flows that understand documents, and the Arabic-first choices that make it all work for your users.

4 stages~8 h
That leaves 4 stages, ~8 hours of focused work. You can clear it in any order, but the stages compound — try them top-to-bottom your first time.
  1. You'll pick up:

    modality matrix, latency budgets, cost per modality, native multimodal models, fallback modality

    Lab task

    Build a "modality planner" page: five feature ideas, each assigned input/output modalities with a latency and cost band, and a tradeoff note explaining what was given up — one idea from your own backlog.

    Build it in the Lab
    Checkpoint

    Your next feature has a modality map with numbers attached — and one idea died honestly at this stage.

What you'll be able to do
  • Pick the right modality mix for a feature and state its latency and cost budget.
  • Ship a voice pipeline where users interrupt, stutter, and switch languages — and it holds.
  • Turn documents into structured data with OCR + LLM flows that cite what they read.
  • Pass the Arabic-first check: dialect input, RTL output, and voice that does not sound foreign.
