By now, you should know the basics of Microsoft Cognitive Services, enough to get started with building your own applications.

A natural way forward is to play around with the different APIs. The APIs are continuously improved and worked upon. It is worth going through the API documentation, to keep up with changes and to learn more. In addition, Microsoft keeps adding new APIs to the services. Through the writing process of this book, I have seen three new APIs added. Those might be interesting to look into.

Another possibility is to build upon the smart-house application that we have started on. We have put down some groundwork, but there are still a lot of opportunities. Perhaps you can work on improving what we have already got. Maybe you can see some opportunities to mix in other APIs, which we have covered.

Reading through this book might have given you some ideas of your own. A great way forward would be to implement them.

As we have seen, there are many possible areas to use the APIs for. Only the imagination limits the usage.

Perhaps this book has triggered a deeper interest in machine learning. Everything we have seen so far is machine learning. Even though it is more complex than just using APIs, it is certainly worth exploring further.
