As part of the series of product update videos on AgilePoint NX v7.0 release, the next one I would like to share is about Microsoft Cognitive Services Integration.
As most of you might already be aware that this is a pretty hot area of discussion within the Microsoft community as these services bring AI and Natural Language Processing capabilities to the application. Workflow driven apps have a need for these capabilities as well which I had covered as part of the demo in one of my blog post as well late last year.
If you wish to read more about what is Cognitive Services, you can refer to following link.

AgilePoint NX platform is in process of integrating with as many useful Cognitive Services as possible and in future this might go beyond Microsoft platform as well because likes of Google, AWS, Salesforce are all having their own Cognitive services but for now we have started with Microsoft Services. Some of you might have already noticed couple of them being added to product late last year and with v7.0 we continue to build on top of it to add more services.
This video covers end to end scenario for how to use each of these 9 cognitive services which includes basic concepts like creating access token, activity configuration, runtime execution etc.
- Text Moderation
- Analyze Image
- Read Text in Image
- Read Handwritten Text from Image
- Generate Thumbnail from Image
- Face Recognition
- Key Phase Extraction
- Language Detection
- Sentiment Analysis
Note: Please note that one of my colleague had helped record this video when this feature was in beta version so some of the labels and icons might have changed since then but the general concept of configuring these activities remains the same. At the time of posting, this feature is already in GA.
DO I have to pay for Azure Bot service and Microsoft Cognitive service separately or is it included with AgilePoint?
Subscription for 3rd party services have to be paid separately. AgilePoint provides you a connector for these services.
