Get your tassels ready. Just a few months after Snip Insights, a Microsoft Garage project, released at Microsoft Build 2018, the project becomes a Garage graduate and expands to new platforms as it joins AI Lab<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The first prototype of Snip Insights was designed and built<\/a> by a team of Garage interns in response to a pitch by the Office of the CTO AI, Worldwide Commercial Business team. The sponsor challenged the interns to leverage Microsoft Azure\u2019s Cognitive Services to revolutionize the way customers search. In 16 short weeks, the team was able to release their source code on GitHub just in time for Microsoft’s annual developer conference in May.<\/p>\n

Taking The Prototype to the Next Level<\/h2>\n

Inspired by developer enthusiasm for the tool, Microsoft\u2019s AI Lab partnered up with the sponsor to take Snip Insights to the next level. \u201cWe decided to explore how AI could further reimagine the image search experience,\u201d said Tara Shankar Jana, Senior Product Marketing Manager of AI Lab. \u201cOur teams refined the project with a new, more intuitive UX and enabled cross-platform availability on MacoS, Linux, and Windows. We\u2019re also excited to make Snip Insights available for download so developers can experience how AI can be infused into an everyday tool.\u201d The project is available on GitHub, with corresponding documentation<\/a> available at AI Lab.<\/p>\n

Empowering Developers to Innovate with Microsoft AI<\/h2>\n

AI Lab and the Office of the CTO AI, WCB are two Microsoft teams working to empower developers to innovate with AI. \u201cMost of us, before we started the internship, we\u2019d never really worked with AI before,\u201d shares UX Design Intern Christie Chan. \u201cWe had access to all these awesome resources.\u201d When asked about their experience using the Cognitive Services APIs to create a new project, Jeffrey Chang, a Software Developer Intern also on the project, shared, \u201cI was surprised to find how easy it was to use Microsoft Cognitive Services.\u201d AI Lab outlines a detailed breakdown of the technologies used to create this new-and-improved version of Snip Insights, illustrating how developers can use cloud services to extract intelligent insights from images. \u201cWe are really passionate about empowering developers to innovate with Microsoft AI,\u201d continues Tara. \u201cSnip Insights is not only a great showcase of how AI can reimagine an experience, but also how developers can do more with AI.\u201d<\/p>\n

An Internship for Curious, Passionate Innovators<\/h2>\n

Each summer, a select group of Microsoft interns participate in a unique, startup style internship where interns team up in groups of 5-7 to design and build working prototypes in response to pitches by teams around Microsoft. Interns get to know their customers and create fresh experiences that tackle pain points or show the possibilities of new technology. As Christie shares, \u201cThe bottom line is: we\u2019re not just trying to show off that we have all these cool technologies\u2014we\u2019re trying to improve people\u2019s lives.\u201d Garage interns have worked on a wide variety of projects, ranging from Seeing AI<\/a>, a mobile app for the visually impaired featured on Product Hunt and The Daily Show with Trevor Noah to Ink to Code<\/a>, a UWP app that translates digital sketches into Visual Studio to accelerate the app development process. Snip Insights was built by a team of interns, based out of Microsoft\u2019s Vancouver, BC Global Development Center.<\/p>\n

The Garage internship attracts applicants who are passionate about innovation and not afraid of a challenge. If this sounds like you, you can learn more about the Garage Internship Program and apply at Microsoft Careers<\/a>. We’re hiring.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
