What is Cognitive Services?
collection of powerful AI algorithms developed by experts to allow systems (human side)
see, hear, speak, understand and interpret our needs using natural methods of communication
APIs work cross-platform to provide intelligent data (API: application programming interface)
The APIs are also constantly improving, learning, and getting smarter, so experiences are always up to date. Simply drop the API call into your bot’s code and you are set.
You can access the APIs from any kind of app that you want to interface with them with just a few lines of code.
Various services (features to add to app) under Microsoft Cognitive Services.
EX. MFSTHack, E-Terview APIs
Found on URL Go to URL.
Actually using these Cognitive services APIs is SUPER EASY.
Go to URL to obtain API key
Call REST endpoint (works similar to a website, make a call from a client to a server --> get data back), then pass the API.
THAT SIMPLE! NO NEED TO KNOW A LOT OF CODE FOR THIS. Free for a certain number of transcations.
Ex of apps powered by MS Cognitive Services. They are FUN. They are public facing – access thru web/skype.

Mobile optimized: Go on phone now…
Funny Use Cases:
Oxford Hackathon (MS API to recognize someone smiling and throw a sling shot at their face)
Russia: (use vision API to detect cats trespassing and a loud sirens voice would scare them away).
