Welcome to the Applied AI Services lesson. Not every company has data scientists to use SageMaker. AWS offers pre-trained AI services that any developer can add to their application via a simple API call!
Why Learn Applied AI Services?
You do not need an advanced math degree to use AI! By calling these pre-trained APIs, you can add facial recognition, text-to-speech, and chatbots to your applications in just minutes.

Pre-Trained AI APIs
- Amazon Rekognition: A computer vision service. You send it a photo or video, and it will identify objects, people, text, scenes, and even detect inappropriate content.
- Amazon Polly: Turns text into lifelike speech using deep learning. (Think of it as creating your own audiobook narrator).
- Amazon Transcribe: The inverse of Polly. It automatically converts speech (audio files) into text transcriptions.
- Amazon Lex: A service for building conversational interfaces (chatbots) into any application using voice and text. It uses the exact same deep learning engine that powers Amazon Alexa.
