3. It’s worth looking at which segments these players occupy
It’s worth looking at which segments these players occupy. I see three key segments.
1. AI Platform
Intelligent platforms have a set of existing features that you use to build bots (applications).
Examples: Facebook’s Messenger, Microsoft’s Bot Platform, Amazon Echo
2. AI as a Service
These allow developers to build models and generate predictions in the cloud, without having to engineer and/or maintain the supporting infrastructure.
Examples: Amazon Web Services, Microsoft’s Azure and Google’s Cloud offerings
3. AI Software
Proprietary software and/or open source tools that will help you with the learning aspect of building an AI.
Examples: TensorFlow from Google, Spark’s MLlib

4. Horizontal AI
Alexa
Siri
Cortana
Vertical AI

6. What makes a good AI product?
1. Truly autonomous
The best AI products make the user more capable. And the very best AI completes a task start to finish for the user-- the user should have to do as little work as possible to make it happen.
2. Allows users to communicate using natural language
It’s just as important that these AI agents or virtual assistants allow users to communicate using natural language. Having to modify speech or text into some sort of machine syntax is cumbersome, and requires the user to do work. The whole point is to seamlessly hand over a task.
3. Has a natural response to the user
On the other end of the interaction, it’s important for the AI’s responses to seem as natural as possible. This is where the role of the AI Interaction Designer came in at x.ai.
