In 2012 Google created a cat categorizer that could identify pictures of cats. At the time this was the state of the art in machine learning. Today Custom Vision Service allows consumers to train their own categorizer using machine learning to identify anything they want: cats, dogs, flowers, hot dogs through an easy to use web interface.

Azure Custom Vision Services provides a path to learning what machine learning is in a way anyone can understand. It is part of a wider Microsoft Cognitive Services platform that takes complex algorithms and makes them accessible to regular people and bright children. It's AI for the rest of us.
