Automation reduces costs and boosts efficiency in financial tasks

I use Amazon Augmented AI for voice recognition and emotion recognition when I receive numerous emails, which are often not worth replying to. I rectify this with machine learning tools. I work in the financial industry, specializing in banks, insurance companies, government, and more The most…

Good fit for medium-sized companies, and offers good AutoML feature

In future releases, I would like to see a more flexible environment. It's a good product for customization and developing products. But when we need the most control over the delivery, Watson isn't the best. We can't fix everything because we're working with a machine that's creating a product. And the ability to go in-depth and tweak our model easily would be really nice.

Cons

"The development support, costing twenty-nine dollars per month, is almost ineffective, with long email response times."

"There needs to be continuous monitoring and improvement, especially regarding security issues, to address threats from hackers."

"However, early on, they relied heavily on building out these massive reference tables. That was a ton of the work that had to be done."

"The supporting language is limited."

"Scaling is limited in some use cases. They need to make it easier to expand in all aspects."

"They should add more GPU processing power to improve performance, especially when dealing with large amounts of data."

"Honestly, I haven't seen any comparative report that has run the same data through two different artificial intelligence or machine learning capabilities to get something out of it. I would love to see that."

"If I consider how we want to use it in our organization, certain areas of improvement can be addressed. For instance, we want to use it with Generative AI, not like ChatGPT, but in a way intended for industrial use."

"In future releases, I would like to see a more flexible environment."

"Scaling is limited in some use cases. They need to make it easier to expand in all aspects."
