Vision lets users upload images for an agent to analyze. The agent passes the image to a vision-capable model, which describes, summarizes, or answers questions about what's in it.

<h2 id="enable-it">
  Enable vision capabilities
</h2>

Vision only works with models that support image inputs. If the selected model can't handle image inputs, the upload control on the message composer is disabled. Switch to a vision-capable model to re-enable it.

<h2 id="use-it">
  Use vision capabilities
</h2>

Click the paperclip icon at the bottom-left of the message composer and choose **Upload to Provider** to attach an image — a screenshot, a photo, a chart, a diagram. Then ask any question that requires reading the image: *"What's wrong with this query plan?"*, *"Transcribe the text in this screenshot,"* or *"Compare this dashboard to last week's."*

The agent treats the image as part of the message context, so follow-up questions in the same turn can reference what it saw without re-uploading.

Vision pairs well with the [code interpreter](/products/cloud/features/ai-ml/agents/builder/code-interpreter) for image-driven analysis — for example, the agent reads numbers off a screenshot and then runs Python to compute totals — and with [web search](/products/cloud/features/ai-ml/agents/builder/web-search) when an image references something the model needs to look up.
