Track: Sponsored Solutions Track 3

Location: Williamsburg / Greenpoint

Duration: 1:40pm - 2:30pm

The more we interact with “smart apps,” the more we hear the word “cognitive” being thrown around. But what actually does this imply? What is a cognitive application? Can I make my app smarter? Can I make my app cognitive? In this session we'll be covering what these buzzwords mean and how to enhance your application with IBM Watson services.

We'll build up an application from scratch and we'll discuss how to integrate Watson into your existing application.
