[Teachable Machine](https://teachablemachine.withgoogle.com) is a web-based tool for creating machine learning models quickly, without specialized expertise.

## Model Deployment from Teachable Machine

Image classification models trained using Teachable Machine can be exported directly to AI Manager Cloud. The steps are:

1. First, start a [new standard image project in Teachable Machine](https://teachablemachine.withgoogle.com/train/image).
2. Follow the Teachable Machine instructions to train the image classification model. See the [Teachable Machine instructional videos](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DFBbSTvtpy4) for guidance.
3. After the model has been trained, click the **Export Model** button.
4. Select the **TensorFlow Lite** tab, and click **Download my model**.
5. After a few seconds of "Converting model," the `.zip` archive is available to download.
6. Upload the zip archive directly through the admin platform.
