Why Azure Applied AI Services?

What is the difference between Applied AI Services and Cognitive Services?
Both Applied AI Services and Cognitive Services are designed to help developers create intelligent apps. Cognitive Services provides general purpose AI services that serve as the core engine for Applied AI Services.
Applied AI Services builds on top of Cognitive Services while also adding task-specific AI and business logic to optimize for specific use cases so that developers spend less time designing solutions or setting up pipelines.
If there isn’t an Applied AI Service available to meet a specific use case, developers can also build their own solutions from scratch, using Cognitive Services as building blocks.
