Roadmap for extending the plugin

[ryanwelcher]

This plugin, in it's most distilled form, simply provides AI services from service providers. If we can approach the plugin from that point of view, we can structure things to allow us to add new services or service providers fairly simply.

At this point, the plugin supports Natural Language Processing ( service ) from IBM Watson ( service provider ).

New Services

I think one that has potential is Image Recognition. This could be applied to Featured Images or media uploads. It would make sense for us to use the Watson tool for our first offering.

New Service Providers

I have some experience working with AWS using both the NLP ( Comprehend ) and Image Recognition ( Rekognition ) tools so that may be a good place to start if/when we decide to add another provider.

@ryanwelcher thoughts on filtering in/out of desired terms (aka whitelist/blacklist)?

[jeffpaul]

• add in support for Microsoft AI/ML to propvide image descriptions
• input from Jake of applying auto tagging of older content with custom Google Analytics tag for keywords and get more info from analytics without lots of attention on tagging (note this may be custom dev, not certain it fits in the plugin, but otherwise likely more 2.0+)

Note that I'm closing this in favor of individual issues for items identified: #2, #48, #49, #50, #51, #52.

As more ideas arise, we'll open individual issues for each.
