The AWS Console provides a web-based interface to navigate, discover, and utilize AWS services for AI and ML. In this topic, we will explore two ways to use the Console to search Machine Learning services. In addition, we will test an ML API with text data retrieved from a website.
In this exercise, we will navigate the AWS Management Console to locate Machine Learning services. Starting from the console https://console.aws.amazon.com/console/ and only using console search features, navigate to the Amazon Lex https://console.aws.amazon.com/lex/ service information page:
Click on https://console.aws.amazon.com/console/ to navigate to the AWS Console. Then, click on Services:

Locating new AWS Services is an essential skill for discovering more tools to provide solutions for your data projects. Now, let's review another way to locate Machine Learning resources via the Search bar.
In this activity, we will display text analysis output by using a partial text file input in the API explorer. Exploring an API is a skill that saves development time by making sure that the output is in a desired format for your project. Thus, we will test Comprehend's text analysis features.
Suppose that you are an entrepreneur creating a chatbot. You have identified a business topic and the corresponding text documents, with content that will allow the chatbot to make your business successful. Your next step is to identify/verify an AWS service to parse the text document for sentiment, language, key phrases, and entities. Before investing time in writing a complete program, you want to test the AWS service's features via the AWS Management Console's interface. To ensure that this happens correctly, you will need to search the web for an article (written in English or Spanish) that contains the subject matter (sports, movies, current events, and so on) that you're interested in. The AWS Management Console is also accessible via the root user's account.
You are aware that exploring APIs is a skill that can save development time by ensuring that the output is in a desired format for your project. The following are the steps of completion:
Identify an AWS service, via the AWS Management Console, to accomplish your objectives.
Navigate to your web page of choice, which contains articles in English and Spanish.
Copy the text from the article written in English or Spanish, in order to identify the following features: sentiment, language, key phrases, and entities.
Obtain a score representing the articles: sentiment, language, key phrases, and entities.
