State of AI: Chatbots, Robots & Virtual Reality, Oh My!
summary
Overview of concrete offerings and demos: IBM exposes ~30 REST API services on Bluemix with a 30-day free trial and a persistent free tier for prototyping, letting developers avoid training models from scratch. Core pieces: Watson Conversation for dialogue with built-in error handling, custom visual recognition that can be retrained for fine-grained classes (hackathon demo maps a drawn key to a 3D key), and a IBM speech sandbox Unity demo for HTC Vive (200 in-world objects) showing always-on voice + speech-to-text integration.
