Documentation and AI programming guides can be found here.

This site is being used to experiment with making various AI cloud services and deep learning libraries available for children to use in their programs. The speech input and output Snap! blocks work in Chrome without an account. The machine learning blocks rely upon tensorflow.js which is compatible with most browsers. The word embedding blocks can run without any special requirements.

The vision services, however, require a key that can be obtained for free from many vision service providers:

Microsoft's Cognitive Services. You can get a free account here. The free quotas include 5000 photo recognitions per month.

Google Cloud Services. You can get a free trial here. The free quota supports 1000 visual recognition queries per month. Google recently added the requirement that a credit card must be used to create an account even if only free services are used. They also introduced a free 12-month period where one can exceed the free quotas by a total of $300.

IBM Watson's Cognitive Solutions. We previously supported IBM's vision cloud services but the service has changed making it impossible to use it directly from a web page.
