When you're working on a startup the hustle is real. Walking into work this morning and seeing that somebody added us here and that it hit the front page is a great way to start the day. Thanks y'all :)

As a thank you here's a code to get 30,000 credits on me to test out some of the algorithms. Here's the code: HNDec2017

There is an decentralized AI/ML startup building something in this domain on top of Ethereum called Synapse.AI you'll want to check out if you're interested in Web3 stuff. They do both the data, algorithms, and other functionality to help autonomous agents grow.

Numerai also wants to monopolize Data and ML models in a decentralized way, and I believe that is also on Ethereum.

There is also Enigma, Doc.ai, and a few others if you're interested in this space.

Seems like they are mainly focused on data collecting and monetizing. Do you see something about them hosting AI/ML models?

I never used this platform until today, wow. This reminds me of old Mashape and early Blockspring if they had a baby (loved those). I'm very excited to dig into this more! WOW, I can tell more developers would love this if there was more outreach and love around this product!

I've walked past your Post Alley office countless times on my commute. Good to see a local name on the front page!

stop by any time, we always like talking to developers.

Competitors include:

* Azure Cognitive Services (REST-based)

* Amazon ML (REST-based), including Polly, Rekognition etc.

AI-as-a-Service is a interesting space that is likely to grow over time.

Part of the problem with doing AI in-house is that it's really hard/expensive to get large corpuses of correctly labeled data to train your algorithms on, so what these folks are really selling is a set of trained model weights exposed as an API.

I plan to do this someday too. I've reached out to several on your team via LinkedIn and have been greeted by a lot of friendly people.
