Anyone here implemented AI or ML automation?
I worked with an AI/ML startup for a couple of years, in order to rely on Ai you need shedloads of relevant and context specific data to teach the system. Without this your Ai will be nothing more than a random guess by the system.- Free Stuff For Startups

Setting up a web site to sell products?
I took a look at salehoo and they appear to be both American and requiring upfront payment in order to discover what products they can provide.
