Integrating Your Xojo App with Artificial Intelligence Cloud Services

Several companies now offer "pre-trained” cloud application services based on Machine Learning (ML) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) algorithms. These services are designed to extract and process insightful data from text, image, video and audio files. Once only affordable for large institutions you can now use these technologies directly from your Xojo app for minimal cost and in many cases for free.

Using the Xojo classic framework you will learn how to easily access many of the ML/AI services offered by both Amazon (AWS) and Google Cloud. A code review along with a live demonstration will highlight the strengths, weaknesses, practical uses and potential abuses of these ever evolving state of the art technologies.

About Jim
Jim has been programming since taking a Fortran course as part of his Mechanical Engineering degree in the late 1960s. Most of his work since then has been with accounting, publishing and content management systems but also as a hobby he works with sport statistics. After co-founding a newspaper publishing software company in the mid 1980s he semi-retired in 2000. About that same time he was introduced to Xojo (RealBasic back then) which he uses almost daily for both fun and profit.
