Google cognitive services allow you to process unstructured data through machine learning and simplify complicated tasks like text analysis and computer vision.
You can implement this functionality in your desktop flows using the Google cognitive group of actions.
All Google cognitive actions require an API key that authorizes you to use the respective services. You can manage your API keys in the APIs & services section of the Cloud Console.
