What is the session about?
Adding AI to a web application need not involve complexity, managing large datasets, or learning advanced math. With Lobe.ai, you can create an image recognition model by using a friendly UI, and import it into a web project. Join us as Jen Looper shows off Lobe.ai, a free service, and how to create a project. She'll walk through how to create an app which can act as a guide to make smart decisions on what to feed your pets, so even if Fido begs for that chocolate bar, you know not to allow even one taste!
Who is it aimed at?
This week's show introduces Lobe.ai, a graphical based tool for creating computer vision models. If you're interested in incorporating AI into your web applications this session is for you!
Why should you attend?
This week’s show is a great opportunity to learn more about how to leverage AI in web applications, using a free tool to demonstrate!
