Use Ready-to-use models
With Amazon SageMaker Canvas Ready-to-use models, you can make predictions on your data without writing a single line of code or having to build a model—all you have to bring is your data. The Ready-to-use models use pre-built models to generate predictions without requiring you to spend the time, expertise, or cost required to build a model, and you can choose from a variety of use cases ranging from language detection to expense analysis.
Canvas integrates with existing Amazon services, such as Amazon Textract, Amazon Rekognition, and Amazon Comprehend, to analyze your data and make predictions or extract insights. You can use the predictive power of these services from within the Canvas application to get high quality predictions for your data.
Canvas supports the following Ready-to-use models types:

To get started with Ready-to-use models, review the following information.
Prerequisites
To use Ready-to-use models in Canvas, you must turn on the Canvas Ready-to-use models configuration permissions when setting up your Amazon SageMaker domain. The Canvas Ready-to-use models configuration attaches the AmazonSageMakerCanvasAIServicesAccess policy to your Canvas user's Amazon Identity and Access Management (IAM) execution role. If you encounter any issues with granting permissions, see the topic Troubleshooting issues with granting permissions through the SageMaker console.
If you’ve already set up your domain, you can edit your domain settings and turn on the permissions. For instructions on how to edit your domain settings, see View and Edit domains. When editing the settings for your domain, go to the Canvas settings and turn on the Enable Canvas Ready-to-use models option.
