I'm excited to announce the release of the cognitive services I've been working on for the last year as marketplace modules. I present to you the Cognitive Core, the Image Search and Ole Chat. Of all the ideas it generated, being able to polish up two into pretty practical modules was really satisftying.
For a few years now I've been working to raise awareness how machine learning could be used with Sitecore to make web applications a much more powerful experience. I've built an integration between Sitecore and Microsoft's Cognitive Services named Sitecore Cognitive Services.
What are Microsoft's Cognitive Services? In the not too distant past, Microsoft released a number of web services using machine learning to the general public under the banner of 'Cognitive Services'.
