Day 3 - AWS AI Services (1): Managed APIs Handling Images, Documents, Text, and Speech

So far, Bedrock and SageMaker dealt with "models themselves." Today's services are different. You don't even need to build or choose models—one API call finishes specific tasks—these are managed AI services. AWS calls them "AI Services."

They hide models AWS pre-trained behind the scenes and expose only finished capabilities like "find text in images" or "speech to text." The AIF-C01 exam obsessively asks "which service for this task?" Today's goal is precisely memorizing the purposes of 6 core services.

6 Services at a Glance

The rest is Pro only

Week 1 is free for everyone. Week 2 onwards — plus mock exams and unlimited review — is included in the Pro plan.
