| name | ai-multimodal |
| description | Process and generate multimedia content using Google Gemini API for better vision capabilities. Capabilities include analyze audio files (transcription with timestamps, summarization, speech understanding, music/sound analysis up to 9.5 hours), understand images (better image analysis than Claude models, captioning, reasoning, object detection, design extraction, OCR, visual Q&A, segmentation, handle multiple images), process videos (scene detection, Q&A, temporal analysis, YouTube URLs, up to 6 hours), extract from documents (PDF tables, forms, charts, diagrams, multi-page), generate images (text-to-image with Imagen 4, editing, composition, refinement), generate videos (text-to-video with Veo 3, 8-second clips with native audio). Use when working with audio/video files, analyzing images or screenshots (instead of default vision capabilities of Claude, only fallback to Claude's vision capabilities if needed), processing PDF documents, extracting structured data from media, creating images/videos from text prompts, or implementing multimodal AI features. Supports Gemini 3/2.5, Imagen 4, and Veo 3 models with context windows up to 2M tokens. |

AI Multimodal
Process audio, images, videos, documents, and generate images/videos using Google Gemini's multimodal API.
Setup
export GEMINI_API_KEY="your-key"
pip install google-genai python-dotenv pillow
Quick Start
Verify setup: python scripts/check_setup.py
Analyze media: python scripts/gemini_batch_process.py --files <file> --task <analyze|transcribe|extract>
- TIP: When you're asked to analyze an image, check if
gemini command is available, then use "<prompt to analyze image>" | gemini -y -m gemini-2.5-flash command. If gemini command is not available, use python scripts/gemini_batch_process.py --files <file> --task analyze command.
Generate content: python scripts/gemini_batch_process.py --task <generate|generate-video> --prompt "description"
Stdin support: You can pipe files directly via stdin (auto-detects PNG/JPG/PDF/WAV/MP3).
cat image.png | python scripts/gemini_batch_process.py --task analyze --prompt "Describe this"python scripts/gemini_batch_process.py --files image.png --task analyze (traditional)
Models
- Image generation:
imagen-4.0-generate-001 (standard), imagen-4.0-ultra-generate-001 (quality), imagen-4.0-fast-generate-001 (speed)
- Video generation:
veo-3.1-generate-preview (8s clips with audio)
- Analysis:
gemini-2.5-flash (recommended), gemini-2.5-pro (advanced)
Available Scripts
IMPORTANT: Only these 4 scripts exist. Do NOT invent or guess script names!
| Script | Purpose | Example |
|---|
gemini_batch_process.py | Main CLI for all tasks | --files <file> --task analyze |
media_optimizer.py | Compress/resize media | --input <file> --max-size 10M |
document_converter.py | Convert docs to markdown | --files <pdf> |
check_setup.py | Verify setup | (no args needed) |
Script Details
gemini_batch_process.py: CLI orchestrator for transcribe|analyze|extract|generate|generate-video that auto-resolves API keys, picks sensible default models per task, streams files inline vs File API, and saves structured outputs (text/JSON/CSV/markdown plus generated assets) for Imagen 4 + Veo workflows.media_optimizer.py: ffmpeg/Pillow-based preflight tool that compresses/resizes/converts audio, image, and video inputs, enforces target sizes/bitrates, splits long clips into hour chunks, and batch-processes directories so media stays within Gemini limits.document_converter.py: Gemini-powered converter that uploads PDFs/images/Office docs, applies a markdown-preserving prompt, batches multiple files, auto-names outputs under docs/assets, and exposes CLI flags for model, prompt, auto-file naming, and verbose logging.check_setup.py: Interactive readiness checker that verifies directory layout, centralized env resolver, required Python deps, and GEMINI_API_KEY availability/format, then performs a live Gemini API call and prints remediation instructions if anything fails.
Use --help for options.
