In 2024, artificial intelligence (AI) is still changing the tech industry in big ways, helping developers make smarter and more efficient apps. AI APIs (Application Programming Interfaces) are important tools that let developers add advanced AI features to their projects without having to build everything from scratch. Here’s a simple guide to the essential AI APIs that can greatly improve your development projects in 2024.
Google Cloud AI Platform offers a suite of AI tools and APIs that can help developers build, deploy, and manage machine learning models. It offers different AI services such as natural language processing, vision, and speech recognition.
AutoML: Automates the training of custom machine learning models.
Cloud Vision API: Analyzes images, including detecting labels, faces, landmarks, and text (OCR).
Cloud Speech-to-Text API: Converts audio into text accurately.
IBM Watson provides a variety of AI services through its APIs, which let developers add smart computing features to their apps. Watson APIs are known for being strong in natural language processing and machine learning.
Watson Assistant: Build conversational interfaces into any application, device, or channel.
Watson Discovery: Extract insights from large amounts of structured and unstructured data.
Watson Visual Recognition: Analyze visual content for scenes, objects, faces, and other content.
Watson Natural Language Understanding: Analyze text to extract metadata, including concepts, entities, keywords, categories, sentiment, emotion, relations, and syntax.
Microsoft Azure Cognitive Services is a place where a set of APIs and services help developers to build smart features that can uplift the application in all industries. The services are encased in vision, speech, language, and decision-making abilities.
Computer Vision: APIs extract intelligent insights from images and videos.
Speech Services: Translation of speech into text and vice versa, as well as a speech translator.
Text Analytics: On-the-ground sentiment analysis, key phrase extraction, language detection, and named entity recognition.
Accessibility: Build applications for speech to text or vice versa.
Security: Face Recognition for Secure Access Control
Market analysis with sentiment analysis: Application to find the correct customer feedback
AWS AI Services use the cloud platform of AWS to provide a sweep of AI services with all the powerful APIs that need to run machine learning, deep learning, and artificial intelligence applications. An added advantage to the AWS AI Services is they are scalable and robust.
Amazon Rekognition: This is a deep-learning-based image and video analysis service used to detect faces, people, objects, and activities in videos.
Amazon Polly: Converts text into speech through this text-to-speech service and makes speech appear lifelike.
Amazon Lex: Used in building multi-turn conversational chatbots where users converse in natural language and acquire information from users.
Amazon Comprehend: An NLP service that is designed to allow you to use insights and relationships in the text.
E-commerce: Image recognition will be a help to power better product search and recommendation.
IVR: Complex voice-driven systems, developed for customer service.
Content Moderation: It can check and moderate smartly for user-generated content.
OpenAI has strong APIs in which developers can use higher-level models of artificial intelligence, such as GPT-3 or GPT-4, in natural language understanding and generation. OpenAI APIs are versatile and open for a wide range of usages.
Human-like text understanding, i.e., understanding prompts given as input.
