* Cloud Vision API - Upload an image, and it will tell you what is in it
* Cloud Speech API - Upload a wav and it will transcribe it
* Natural Language API - Parse sentences, extracts entities, sentiment and syntax
* Cloud Translate API - Translate from one language to another.
Api.ai would make a great bullet point to add to the end of that list!
