You wouldn't conceive of setting up your own SMS messaging stack across 193 countries and god knows how many telecom carriers in a world where Twilio exists. Machine learning (ML) is in a similar scenario; why would you waste time putting together a whole infrastructure unless Machine Learning is key to your program -- which it probably isn't? Slai is claiming to have laid the foundation to a developer-first machine learning platform to address this specific challenge. It gives developers the tools they need to release machine-learning apps swiftly. The company's offering claims to focus on allowing developers to focus on the machine learning models rather than all of the other nonsense that wastes time but doesn't directly add to the application.
