This was a talk on as many aspects of Azure Cognitive Services as I could fit into an application. I built a desktop application that connected to the computer vision, speech, text analytics, and CLU APIs of Azure Cognitive Services as well as OpenAI on Azure for GPT-35-Turbo (ChatGPT) to create an interactive experience with an AI that acted like a dog. I augmented this with a webcam and speaker strapped to a stuffed dog and the end result was a creation that used Azure to listen to me, watch things I showed it, analyze these things for content (and map text to CLU intents) and then use that context to prompt Open AI for a response. The system text for Open AI was keyed to be a friendly dog-like entity that was enthusiastic about AI and Azure Cognitive Services in particular. It went over very well, despite the technical complexity of the talk. Code examples were presented in C#.
