Visual data-science and machine-learning platform for building predictive models, with advanced algorithms, model deployment and open-source framework integration.
Document intelligence platform using OCR, NLP enrichments (entity/sentiment/emotion/category extraction) and LLM integration to automate information discovery from enterprise documents.
API service
Deep-learning text analytics service extracting entities, sentiment, emotion, concepts, semantic roles and custom classifications from unstructured text.
A speech recognition API that converts audio into real-time or batch text for transcription, captioning and voice-analytics use cases.
A text-to-speech API that converts text into multilingual synthesized speech using neural voices.
Agent platform
A conversational AI platform for building customer-support chatbots and virtual assistants deployed across voice and digital channels.
Platform for building and running AI agents that call enterprise applications on a user's behalf.
Developer tool
An AI coding agent that automates planning, code generation, review and verification across the software development lifecycle, including IBM Z mainframe modernization workflows.
