The Big Picture in Smart Web Development
In today’s era, it would be no big surprise if we see the world become totally digital in years to come. The future calls for automation and what spells automation better than Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning. Azure Cognitive Services offers a plethora of such services so as to facilitate Smart Web Development. Let us understand how Azure Cognitive Service helps facilitate Smart Web Development.
Role of Cognitive Services in Web Development
Improved search experience: A website search bar is said to be complete, only if it has a speech recognition engine. What good purpose does a search bar serve if it can’t get you what you ASK for?! Cultural and regional diversity leads to different pronunciation of frequently used words and you really don’t want any misinterpretations. Azure offers quick and powerful speech recognition engine. So regardless of speech style or region of the user, Azure Speech Recognition won’t fail you.
Content Moderation: The more activity your website has, the more is the need to filter content posted by users. You don’t want user experience to be hampered just because of a bad apple. Azure Content Moderator filters everything, may it be text or images. However, you have total control over the aggressivity of the service. It can be used to create alerts for the content moderator in order to take an action or it may be given permission to delete an abusive comment or image in an instant.
Powerful Q&A: Based on the user’s frequently asked questions, Azure’s Q&A service can create a database of the questions asked and the answers given to them in no time! So if a user asks, “How to upload a picture?”, it will provide a relevant suggestion in no time. Also it is powerful enough to identify similar questions. For example it will treat “How to upload a picture?” and “How do I post an image?” as the same question. A business owner can hence create a powerful Q&A section that can build it’s own knowledge base by analyzing a user’s question at the same time referencing the user to a relevant part of the website!
Secure Login Mechanism: When the use case pertains to a high level of authorization, an additional layer of security is always commemorated. In scenarios of admin login, along with a two factor authentication, a speaker verification would be perfect. Azure’s speaker recognition, combined with AI and ML is capable to enforce tight security measures. In case the admin’s password is exploited, the attacker won’t go through this layer of security!
Smart Chatbot: A user might have a quick enquiry, related to a product or an issue that needs to be addressed immediately. This can be easily taken care of, if your website has a chatbot. Chatbots are not sometimes preferred because they don’t answer your question completely. But that’s not the case with Azure Bot Service. Azure Bot Service offers a smart chat bot which can be integrated with AI based services which will help your address your issue or concern in a better way. Also, it can collect user information for personal assistance. It can be easily configured to keep a database of the user data so as to perform an analysis at a later time.
Summary
Azure Cognitive Services has a lot to offer in terms of Smart Web Development. If you’re a business owner or a developer, the use cases are endless and the integration is seamless! Azure Cognitive Services will provide the user an extraordinary browsing experience!
