With ChatGPT in the news so much this past week, I thought I’d highlight some examples of AI-based services that are currently available from leading cloud companies like Google, Microsoft and Salesforce. Let’s start with Salesforce:
- Einstein Vision: Allows users to analyze and interpret images using deep learning techniques.
- Einstein Language: Provides natural language processing and text analytics capabilities.
- Einstein Bots: Enables the creation of intelligent chatbots that can understand and respond to customer inquiries in real time.
Here are some examples of AI-based services that are currently available from Google:
- Cloud AutoML: Allows users to build custom machine learning models without requiring advanced technical skills.
- Cloud Text-to-Speech: Converts written text into spoken language using advanced neural network models.
- Cloud Speech-to-Text: Transcribes spoken language into written text using machine learning algorithms.
And from Microsoft here are some examples of AI-based services that are currently available that they offer:
- Azure Machine Learning: Provides a cloud-based platform for building, deploying, and managing machine learning models.
- Microsoft Translator: Offers real-time translation of text and speech using neural machine translation technology.
- Azure Cognitive Services: A suite of tools that enables developers to build intelligent applications using a variety of AI technologies, including computer vision, natural language processing, and speech recognition.
It is not possible for me to really read into the future and predict what new AI-based services will be available from these companies. However, I fully expect that all of them will continue to invest in and develop new AI-based products and services as the technology evolves.
AI is here. It’s no longer something that is far-flung and far off. Tools like Jasper.ai to aid in writing are here now, and others of their ilk are making bold moves to change how we all work. More productively. More smartly and more quickly.
You listed AI as a Service services.
AI as a feature, adding smarts to whatever you’re now using, is already arriving. Notion, Office, etc.
So watch everyone who has an enterprise, productivity, industrial app/service/device inject ML-powered features into your everyday use.
Your point is correct, Phil. I actually have a post coming of services that are using it as a feature planned. I will be regularly sharing my thoughts on the apps which have included AI in their feature list like Notion, Dialpad, etc. I will also highlight pureplay apps like Jasper and others like them which are AI first.
I think we need to look at AI the same way we look at cloud. AI Native Apps, AI First Apps (apps that have AI in them but which are not AI primarily) and AI Followers (those which realize they need AI, but don’t add it for a while as it wasn’t on their roadmap.)
