Overview of this book

Azure Cognitive Services and OpenAI are a set of pre-built artificial intelligence (AI) solution APIs that can be leveraged from existing applications, allowing customers to take advantage of Microsoft’s award-winning Vision, Speech, Text, Decision, and GPT-4 AI capabilities. With Practical Guide to Azure Cognitive Services, you’ll work through industry-specific examples of implementations to get a head-start in your production journey. You’ll begin with an overview of the categorization of Azure Cognitive Services and the benefits of embracing AI solutions for practical business applications. After that, you’ll explore the benefits of using Azure Cognitive Services to optimize efficiency and improve predictive capabilities. Then, you’ll learn how to leverage Vision capabilities for quality control, Form Recognizer to streamline supply chain nuances, language understanding to improve customer service, and Cognitive Search for next-generation knowledge-mining solutions. By the end of this book, you’ll be able to implement various Cognitive Services solutions that will help you enhance efficiency, reduce costs, and improve the customer experience at your organization. You’ll also be well equipped to automate mundane tasks by reaping the full potential of OpenAI.

To get the most out of this book

When you get started with your own workloads, using the various chapters as a reference, there are several areas you will want to have experience with. First, for a user new to Azure, you will want to have a good understanding of navigating the portal, how subscriptions are organized, and ways to control costs. Although it is not required to pass the exam, using the Microsoft AZ-900 exam preparation material will give you a good foundation for best practices. You will also want to have a minimum of Contributor permissions to be able to freely deploy resources as required. The following is a list of other tools that will be used commonly to complete the work:

Base application

Operating system requirements

Visual Studio Code with Azure extensions

Windows, macOS, or Linux

Azure data tools with Azure extensions

Windows, macOS, or Linux

Python versions specific to each service

Windows, macOS, or Linux

Each of the preceding tools is free to download and easy to find with a simple search online. There are situations where having the full version of Visual Studio may offer more capabilities than the free tools listed here, so it may be advantageous to check with your organization whether you can be assigned a license.

If you are using the digital version of this book, we advise you to type the code yourself or access the code from the book’s GitHub repository (a link is available in the next section). Doing so will help you avoid any potential errors related to the copying and pasting of code.
