Are there other similar services out there or is this completely new?

It looks really awesome.

I know this is silly to ask of a cloud company but some kind of offline mode would be really useful for robotics and for the security example. Maybe it could be limited like you request n specific things you want to recognize and it stores the relevant data locally.

Check out Torch7 (http://torch.ch) or Google's new TensorFlow (https://www.tensorflow.org) - both of them are really easy to use (especially TensorFlow) and will allow you to build models with a bit of programming knowledge that run offline quite easily.

This seems comparable to Microsoft Azure Cognitive Services: https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/services/cognitive-service...

Might as well use a pretrained Imagenet or Inception for an offline mode. Of course it would be harder to use.
