The inspiration behind this bot came from everyday frustrations. I like learning about things. When someone tells me about something unfamiliar, I Google it. When I hear a song on the radio I like, I identify it through Soundhound or Shazam. But how about when I want to know the species of a plant, breed of a dog or model of a car? How am I supposed to describe it to Google? That, is how WTFIT was born! Right now, it works well in identifying every day objects and animals. However as the community grows, the platform will become smarter and smarter, and be able to to identify even the toughest of images!

@techno246 Concerning Google, I wonder how this classifier compares with Google Search by Image. Anyway, good job!

@mommi84 I've played around with Google search a lot, and it works very well when the image exists on Google images already. However, it doesn't seem to do as well with images you just take a photo, and the similar photos can sometimes be totally off. And thanks!

This is awesome! Would be amazing if it had an API that can be sent images to return what the object was 👌🏼

RGB – #6: Rule Them All... Maybe Not

@nagra__ I would have loved to have this in a previous project of mine! :) Great idea!

@vallieres @nagra__ you guys should check out Microsoft Cognitive Services, Google Cloud Vision and Cloudsight. They all have REST APIs for that purpose!

@techno246 @nagra__ yes, I did have great success with Caffe from Berkley. Sadly we did not go through with the feature using it. We were hoping to crowdsource 1 year of photo and human taging as a baseline and have it fully automated afterwards.

Is it answered by a person? There's a typo in one of the responses.

@scottruona Not that I know of! I do want to bring in community driven recognition but that's for the next version :)

Interesting! But how reliable is it? I just tried with a picture of "Tarte aux pralines", a French specialty (see below) and it answered that it was a ham pizza :D No way to suggest a better answer?

@the_minh Thanks for your feedback! Not at this stage, but that is definitely something that will be added soon, as part of making the recognition better based on user suggestions. By the way, that looks delicious! Hungry now haha

Great concept! I immediately thought this would be awesome for giving me dinosaur names. Ever try to figure out the name of an odd looking dinosaur? It can be pretty tough sometimes using google text search. So I gave it a picture of a dilophosaurus and it told me it was a 'brown two legged dinosaur' which is pretty impressive that it counted its legs and knew it was indeed a dinosaur. Then I gave it a stegosaurus and it said it was 'a green dinosaur'. It would be amazing if it could determine the name of the dinosaur somehow, because then when my kids ask me 'what is this?' I can get the answer faster. Impressive none the less :)

@greg_ellis that was actually one of the reasons I wanted to make this. So I can identify those animal species that look so familiar but I just don't know the name of! That is the eventual goal. To be specific when recognising animals, plants, or branded things. Thanks for your feedback!

WOW, this is so quick! Will try to challenge it with harder objects (I sent a bottle of sparkling water) but all I can say it is super quick! @techno246, echoing @scottruona's question, what is the tech behind that? Or do you answer yourself? Any metrics you can give us on the number of users, proportion of successful requests?

@anthony_abitbol Thanks for the feedback! I am using a combination of image recognition APIs, including Microsoft Cognitive Services and Cloudsight. Growth has been awesome so far! Launched it about 12 hours ago, so far I have had 667 requests and 160 unique users. I'm still constantly throwing challenges at it myself! Impressed when it recognized the make and model of a car I found parked on the street.

Very generic answers. I assume this is taking advantage of the google image recognition API? Fun but more of a toy for now.

@asalamunovic Yes, it can be generic now for many basic objects. However, we are aiming to make it more and more specific, and that should make it more useful!
