# Vision Analyze
Analyze images using the built-in vision capabilities of multimodal AI models.
## Quick Start
### Analyze an Image
Describe what's in an image:
```python
# The agent will automatically use vision when you provide an image path
image("/path/to/image.jpg", prompt="Describe what's in this image")
```
### Extract Text (OCR)
Extract text from images:
```python
image("/path/to/document.png", prompt="Extract all text from this image")
```
### Analyze Multiple Images
Compare or analyze multiple images:
```python
images(["/path/to/image1.jpg", "/path/to/image2.jpg"],
prompt="Compare these two images and describe the differences")
```
## Usage Patterns
### Visual Q&A
Ask specific questions about image content:
```python
image("menu.jpg", prompt="What are the prices of the main courses?")
image("chart.png", prompt="What trend does this graph show?")
image("screenshot.png", prompt="What error message is displayed?")
```
### Content Moderation
Check image content:
```python
image("upload.jpg", prompt="Is this image appropriate for a professional setting?")
```
### Data Extraction
Extract structured data from visual content:
```python
image("receipt.jpg", prompt="Extract the date, total amount, and items purchased")
image("business_card.png", prompt="Extract name, phone, email, and company")
image("form.jpg", prompt="Extract all filled fields as key-value pairs")
```
### Visual Comparison
Compare images:
```python
images(["before.jpg", "after.jpg"],
prompt="What changes were made between these two images?")
```
## Tips
- **Be specific**: The more specific your prompt, the better the results
- **Multiple images**: You can analyze up to 20 images at once
- **Supported formats**: JPG, PNG, GIF, WebP
- **Size limits**: Large images are automatically resized
## When to Use
- Reading text from screenshots, documents, or photos
- Describing visual content for accessibility
- Analyzing charts, graphs, or diagrams
- Comparing visual changes
- Extracting data from forms or receipts
- Understanding UI elements or error messages
