Multimodal assistants companies, products & suppliers

Multimodal assistants are chat products whose marketed difference is combined text, image, audio or video in one thread. Use this page when modality is the buying criterion. Flagship general apps that also accept images — ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini — still have their canonical home under general-purpose assistants so those brand queries are not split.

Frequently asked questions

Is Gemini only listed here?

Gemini remains related because modality is part of its pitch, but the canonical ChatGPT-class listing is general-purpose assistants. This page is for buyers whose requirement is multimodal interaction itself.

What are Multimodal assistants?

Multimodal assistants are chat products whose marketed difference is combined text, image, audio or video in one thread. Use this page when modality is the buying criterion. Flagship general apps that also accept images — ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini — still have their canonical home under general-purpose assistants so those brand queries are not split.

Why do buyers need to know which model providers sit behind an AI product?

Most products depend on named models or APIs. Buyers should identify those providers, where data is sent, and who is accountable when a model version changes. A supplier that cannot name material model providers is not ready for high-assurance procurement.

What model or provider changes should a buyer insist on being told about?

Material change usually includes a new model family, new region, new subprocessor, new write-capable tool, or a change that affects logging, privacy or human oversight. Those changes should trigger evidence refresh rather than a silent release.

How should buyers verify where AI customer data is processed?

Ask for the named processing locations, cloud regions and any subprocessors that see prompts, files or outputs. A directory listing is not evidence of residency. Independent assessment records the locations that were in scope on the assessment date.

Does a TrustMark on one product cover the rest of the company?

No. Independent assessment is scoped to the named organisation and, where relevant, the named product. Category pages list suppliers as a topic label. They do not imply that every listed company has been assessed.

What incident-handling evidence is useful for AI suppliers?

Buyers should see how AI-specific failures are detected, contained and notified — including unsafe outputs, data leakage and unauthorised agent actions. An incident policy that never mentions models, prompts or tools is incomplete for this class of product.

What security testing evidence should buyers request for an AI product?

Ask what was tested, against which version, whether prompt-injection, data-exfiltration and tenant isolation were in scope, and where failed prompts were stored. A generic ISO certificate or a vendor scanner screenshot is not by itself an AI TrustMark assessment.
