Teachable Machine is a web-based tool that makes creating machine learning models fast, easy, and accessible to everyone. (Note: you can find the first version of Teachable Machine from 2017 here.)

How do I use it?

1 Gather

Gather and group your examples into classes, or categories, that you want the computer to learn.
Video: Gather samples

What can I use to teach it?

Teachable Machine is flexible – use files or capture examples live. It’s respectful of the way you work. You can even choose to use it entirely on-device, without any webcam or microphone data leaving your computer.
Sample images

Images

Teach a model to classify images using files or your webcam.
Sample sounds

Sounds

Teach a model to classify audio by recording short sound samples.
Sample poses

Poses

Teach a model to classify body positions using files or striking poses in your webcam.

Tutorials

Works with…

The models you make with Teachable Machine are real TensorFlow.js models that work anywhere javascript runs, so they play nice with tools like Glitch, P5.js, Node.js & more.
Plus, export to different formats to use your models elsewhere, like Coral, Arduino & more.

Google's Teachable Machine is a magical ML tool. ✨

In 2 minutes I trained my computer to recognize what part of my shoe it was looking at.

You have to try it: https://teachablemachine.withgoogle.com

we've been in zoom land for how long now? 😭 we just released a new video showing you how to augment your video calls using @p5xjs @ml5js Teachable Machine + OBS. ty for the idea @cameronhunter 🌟

“Kids are given images of both and use Google’s Teachable Machines to train the data.”

It was a joy to collaborate with @WarronBebster, @ire_alva, @alexanderchen, and @hapticdata and have them in our classroom. You can check out the tool here: teachablemachine.withgoogle.com
