Have you tried fascinating Artificial Intelligence tools? I remember trying AI photo technology at the Photo Event booth in 2012. It was adding a fun filter around my face while I was moving. Although this technology is the most basic one you see everywhere nowadays, I fondly recall my fascination at that time. Even a decade later, I’m still amazed by how advanced AI technology has gotten and I’d love to share some of these innovations with you with my brilliant colleague, Aiko Thorman in this blog.

What makes this blog special is we’ve only gathered the ones that are super easy to try out. Yes, by super easy to try out, we literally mean just a few clicks. Great thanks to Allison Kornher for gathering these demos.

No code, No prior AI experience, No $%(^#&#$.

These demos will give you valuable insight into the power and potential of Google Cloud’s AI products. So, get ready to unleash your inner AI innovator and embark on a transformative journey with us!

Healthcare Natural Language API

🔮👩‍💻(click here to try!)🧑‍💻🔮

Healthcare Natural Language API can extract and structure medical information from unstructured medical text, such as medical records and insurance claims. This information can then be used for downstream analysis and automation, such as extracting information about medical concepts, mapping medical concepts to standard medical vocabularies, and deriving medical insights from text.

  • The Demo inputs are provided and you can customize.
  • The prerequisite of spinning up the demo is enabling your JavaScript in your preferred browser environment.
  • The Demo output types are Knowledge, relationship, JSON
  • Here is the Demo output example:

Data Loss Prevention

🔮👩‍💻(click here to try!)🧑‍💻🔮

Cloud Data Loss Prevention (Cloud DLP) is now part of Sensitive Data Protection, a family of services designed to help you discover, classify, and protect your most sensitive data. The demo inspects the input content and produces strings like a PHONE_NUMBER. For better accuracy, findings are bucketed under one of the likelihood representations

  • Demo Input Type: Text (Provided but you can customize too)
  • Demo Output Type: Type, likelihood, string, line, bytes
  • Demo Output Example:
  • From INFOTYPES button at top right, you can choose filters of your choice
