It offers a great option for IoT and simple repetitive tasks with simple configuration but it requires having previous knowledge of Microsoft tools to get familiar with how to use it. I also think it is excellent for classification especially if your requirements about specific tools could need a lot of studies.

Mostly Google Cloud Vision API is getting used for extracting values out of pdfs which are scanned images. We also tried using it in analyzing different images and their marketing campaign results based on different features it contains like color, objects, positioning, logos etc. Vision API could be used for in conjunction with LLM to provide a more detailed prompt for image generation.

It’s pretty easy to get started and the docs are good, plus it supports many features like OCR and image labeling. The accuracy is also generally good and it scale well for bigger use.
But the setup can be a bit confusing, especially with billing and permissions. and also the pricing is also not always very clear, and debugging issues sometimes take more time then expected.
Overall, it’s powerful tool but not the easiest for beginners.
