Azure, a tool from Microsoft, provides out-of-the-box features to simplify app creation. One of these features is called Computer Vision, a powerful AI tool that explains what’s in an image. With the Describe image feature in Glide, you can have an image analyzed by Azure, and it will tell you what’s in the image.
