Image as an Input

Is there any support to inject images during the call using call control?
v
I couldn't find any info about injecting images during a call using call control. The docs only mention things like saying messages, transferring calls, or controlling the assistant during a call, but nothing about images ([see call control features](https://docs.vapi.ai/calls/call-features)). I'm going to escalate this to the team so they can give you a definitive answer!

Vapi call control does not support injecting images during calls for visuals, use SMS or email integrations instead..
h
email integrations can have images in it you mean?
k
Yes, by embedding or attaching them, since images can’t be injected directly into live calls..
h
okay, do yo mean i need to create a tool for email
can you explain a little bit
v
You can not inject images directly into VAPI. First, using some OCR or other service provider, you have to convert the image into a meaningful text. Then, using our live call control, you can inject that text into VAPI. You can use ChatGPT API to get the text about an image and then using our live call control, you can pass it to us.

yes thats a way to do it but kings big suggested email, how can we do that? @Shubham Bajaj
also, how are people able to use vapi for a code interview where ai can guide a little bit if candidate gets stuck?
s
For email part you have to check with @Kings_big💫
Can you share some more context so I can align with you and understand how your planning to make use of the assistant.
k
Integrate your assistant with an email service ( Gmail ) using platforms such as Make.com, configure it to send emails based on conversation data like confirmations, and test the workflow before deploying..
