Advancing AI and machine learning for business

IBM Watson Services for Core ML combines Apple’s on-device machine learning framework with IBM enterprise AI to provide real-time insights for professionals.

With this new offering, available today, businesses can now build AI-powered apps that securely connect to their enterprise data, are optimized to run offline and on cloud and that continuously learn, adapt and improve through each user interaction.

IBM Watson is available as a set of cloud-based services for developers to build AI applications, and Core ML delivers advanced machine learning to apps on Apple devices.

Together, these technologies can deliver faster, smarter insights with continuous learning capabilities, transforming AI for enterprise mobility.

Improving the enterprise developer experience

There’s an increased demand on enterprise developers to build smarter apps that put critical information at the fingertips of employees.

In order to deliver on this demand, developers need resources and tools to simplify and speed their work like never before.

Bring enterprise AI to mobile with Watson Services for Core ML.
Integrating Core ML, Apple’s machine learning framework, with IBM Watson gives you powerful insights that get richer with time and use.
The more you work with your apps, the smarter they get.
Combining these capabilities helps you deliver next level AI to your mobile enterprise.
