User experience (UX) has always been the element of precedence in a mobile app. A lot of efforts are put in to refine usability of an app and all of it starts with the login screen design. 

Cross-platform development toolkits are winning over the developers’ community. Reusable blocks of UI, reactive performance, code usability on multiple platforms are some of the reasons why these cross-platform app development frameworks are gaining ground. One such sought-after framework for mobile app development is Flutter by Google.

The accuracy of deep learning models depends upon the quality, quantity, and contextual meaning of the training data set. However, the scarcity of this up-to-the-market data set is one of the major challenges in building DL models. 

Over the years, traditional financial systems have grappled with a set of enduring challenges – they've been exclusive, often inefficient, and quite opaque. Geographic constraints and bureaucratic complexities have left a significant portion of the population without access to essential financial services. These hurdles, coupled with the reliance on centralized intermediaries, have introduced risks and bottlenecks, impeding the smooth flow of transactions.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is everywhere. The possibility is that you are using it in one way or the other and you don't even know about it. One of the popular applications of AI in custom software development is Machine Learning (ML), in which computers, software, and devices perform via cognition (very similar to the human brain). Herein, we share few examples of machine learning that we use every day and perhaps have no idea that they are driven by ML.

Microinteractions are subtle yet impactful design elements that enhance user experiences in digital interfaces. These small, focused moments occur during customer engagement, providing instant feedback, guiding actions, and creating a seamless connection between the customer and the interface. They serve as the language of feedback, responding to actions with precision and adding a layer of creative delight to the overall experience.

With increasing complexity and demand for highly scalable and robust applications, conventional monolithic architecture is no longer the best choice. After a certain threshold, monolithic architecture tends to hinder application performance and scalability. Moreover, with an enormous codebase, making changes to the tightly coupled, dependent processes in the monolithic architecture drastically increases the impact of single process failure.

Chatbots have redefined the way customers interact with businesses. According to HubSpot, “47% of consumers are open to buying items through a chatbot”. Thus, majority of organisations have joined the race of augmenting or building these virtual agents on their websites.

Google has officially introduced Gemini, its latest artificial intelligence (AI) model equipped with capabilities in text, code, audio, image, and video. The entity claims that Gemini AI significantly outperforms Microsoft-backed OpenAI's GPT-4, potentially enhancing Google's standing in the AI competition.

In a world that is becoming increasingly interconnected, the importance of effective communication cannot be overstated. However, for the millions of individuals in the deaf and hard of hearing community, traditional communication methods often fall short, creating barriers that hinder their full participation in various aspects of life.
