Programming robots to play poker in one summer with Watson - IBM Watson

Although our project is to make robots play poker, our main focus is to demonstrate the power of the Watson Developer Cloud. We were all blown away when we found out how simple and easy it was to use the APIs on Bluemix to do things like natural language classification, text-to-speech, speech-to-text, visual recognition, and much more. The hard part, as is usually the case, is coming up with an idea. We want to inspire others to be creative and make use of these services. To do that, we will be sharing everything we've been doing with the robots in a series of blog posts.
