TALK

Boring but Effective: WebAI That Ships

Everyone's talking about generative AI. But machine learning is so much more than chatbots... and a surprising amount of it runs directly in the browser, on ordinary consumer hardware. Text embeddings for semantic search, real-time speech recognition, image tasks like background removal: small open models, often just a few megabytes, powered by tools like Transformers.js and WebGPU. No cloud subscription, no API key, no gigabyte downloads. In this talk, we'll explore the tasks that already work on the hardware your users own. Live, fully offline, and ready for production. Effective? Absolutely. Boring? Let's find out.
