Definition
Pre-built interfaces that allow developers to access AI capabilities through simple web requests without building models from scratch.
Detailed Explanation
Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) specifically designed for AI services that provide standardized ways to interact with machine learning models and AI functionality. These interfaces abstract away the complexity of AI systems, offering pre-trained models and infrastructure through well-defined endpoints and request/response patterns.
Use Cases
Image recognition in mobile apps, Natural language processing in chatbots, Speech-to-text in voice assistants, Sentiment analysis in social media monitoring tools
