Case Study: Cardinal Blue Software enhances PicCollage search and creativity with Microsoft Cognitive Services

Mobile app maker wows customers with the help of intelligent APIs from Microsoft

Cardinal Blue Software, the maker of the popular PicCollage app, was using the Google Image Search API but faced a significant challenge with inappropriate content appearing in search results, leading to user complaints. To resolve this issue and improve relevance, they turned to Microsoft and its Bing Image Search API from Microsoft Cognitive Services.

Microsoft provided a powerful and flexible solution, with superior safe search capabilities that immediately made search results safer and more relevant. The partnership also introduced Cardinal Blue to other Cognitive Services APIs, which enabled them to quickly develop innovative new features and even a new app, enhancing user engagement and eliciting positive feedback. This allowed the company to leverage advanced AI tools to focus on their creative competitive advantage.
