Google has made significant strides in integrating artificial intelligence into its services by open-sourcing TensorFlow and providing a range of machine learning APIs accessible via REST. These APIs, which include capabilities like image text extraction, language translation, and sentiment analysis, can greatly enhance user experience and enable new business models without requiring deep technical knowledge of AI infrastructure. The document illustrates how these APIs can be utilized within Couchbase using N1QL, particularly through the CURL() function, to seamlessly call and process JSON data from Google's services. This integration allows developers and enterprises to leverage advanced AI functionalities, such as the Google Vision API for extracting metadata from images, the Google Translation API for multi-language support, and the Google Natural Language API for analyzing sentiment and entities, thereby improving the efficiency and effectiveness of their applications.
