## <a id="section_1"></a>Triggering AWS AI Services from Lambda

AWS Lambda integrates with the AWS AI services to take specific actions in response to certain events such as with Amazon S3 or EventBridge

<b>Note:</b> We provide a small code snippet for triggering the AI services from Lambda using Python (boto). Use the link provided after each code snippet to do the same using other languages of your choice. While this page is a starting point, you will likely need to further investigate AWS AI capabilities for your use cases.

<b>Triggering Amazon Comprehend</b>

```
import boto3
import json

comprehend = boto3.client(service_name='comprehend')
text = "It is raining today in Seattle"

print('Calling DetectDominantLanguage')
print(json.dumps(comprehend.detect_dominant_language(Text = text), sort_keys=True, indent=4))
print("End of DetectDominantLanguage\n")
```

<b>Triggering Amazon Translate</b>

```
import boto3

translate = boto3.client(service_name='translate', use_ssl=True)

result = translate.translate_text(Text="Hello, World", SourceLanguageCode="en", TargetLanguageCode="de")

print('TranslatedText: ' + result.get('TranslatedText'))
print('SourceLanguageCode: ' + result.get('SourceLanguageCode'))
print('TargetLanguageCode: ' + result.get('TargetLanguageCode'))
```

<b>Triggering Amazon Rekognition</b>

```
import json
import boto3

client = boto3.client("rekognition")
response = client.detect_labels(Image = {"S3Object": {"Bucket":"bucket_name", "Name": "image_name"}}, MaxLabels=3, MinConfidence=70)
print(response)
return "Thanks"
```

<b>Triggering Amazon Textract</b>

```
import json
import boto3
import base64

imageBase64 = 'image in base64'
textract = boto3.client('textract')

response = textract.detect_document_text( 
        Document={ 
        'Bytes': base64.b64decode(imageBase64)
    })

detectedText = ''

for item in response['Blocks']:
    if item['BlockType'] == 'LINE':
        detectedText += item['Text'] + '\n'

print(detectedText)
```

## <a id="section_2"></a><b>Triggered AWS AI Services from EventBridge</b>

Amazon EventBridge is a serverless event bus that calls a Lambda function in response to an event to trigger a workflow. The AI services will be triggered from the Lambda function that is initiated in response to an event from the EventBus.
