Talks on web AI, performance, accessibility, CSS and building communities. Videos link to YouTube when available.
Running AI in the browser breaks the classic web performance model: frozen inputs, delayed clicks and a spiking INP. The talk breaks down what happens when inference runs on the main thread, and how to redesign the architecture with Web Workers, WebGPU and patterns like chunking and streaming to keep the UI responsive. Includes two live demos and the code.
A practical introduction to AI for web developers who don't know where to start. Uses the browser as a platform and shows how to integrate native APIs like SpeechRecognition, MediaDevices and WebGPU, together with TensorFlow.js, to build interfaces that listen, understand and adapt. No prior machine learning or Python experience required.
