Generative AI is not limited to text. Here is a tour of the main families of creation.

Text

Writing emails, summaries, translations, brainstorming, proofreading. This is the most common and the most reliable use.

Images

Tools such as DALL·E, Midjourney or the image features inside ChatGPT and Gemini create visuals from a description. Handy for illustrating training material, designing a workshop logo or a pictogram.

Audio and voice

Speech synthesis (turning text into a voice), transcription (turning a meeting into written minutes), and even generating short pieces of music.

Video

Still emerging, but progressing fast: generating short clips from a text description.

A trainer’s perspective: every medium has its teaching uses. A generated image can illustrate an abstract concept; an automatic transcript saves precious time when producing materials.
