Watch our AI talks at I/O 2025 | Blog | Chrome for Developers
AI is transforming how web developers are building websites and web applications. At Google I/O 2025, we shared what we've been working on over the last year, demonstrated how our partners are making use of AI on the web, and announced new built-in AI APIs. If you missed the event, you can now watch the talks on-demand!
Updates to Built-in AI
Our core mission is to make Chrome and the web smarter for all developers and all users. In this talk, Thomas Steiner shares updates to built-in AI, practical use cases, and a look at our future. Built-in AI runs client-side models in the browser, which has several advantages:
- Take a look at code samples for each of the built-in AI APIs, get an update on their status, and see what companies are implementing this technology.
- We are working on brand new multimodal APIs that will enhance user experiences by providing suggestions and descriptions for visual and audio content.
One challenge developers face with client-side AI is that not all platforms and browsers meet the hardware requirements to run a model on-device. Gemini and Firebase partnered to build the Firebase Web SDK to provide a solution for fallback scenarios when client-side implementations are unavailable.
The number of AI-powered Extensions has doubled in the last two years, with 10% of all Extensions installed from the Chrome Web Store utilizing AI. In this talk, Sebastian Benz demonstrates practical examples of how Chrome Extensions and Gemini are a powerful combination by leveraging new multimodal capabilities and the latest Gemini Cloud APIs.
Yuriko Hirota and Swetha Gopalakrishnan showcase real-world examples of companies using AI on the web to enhance their business and user experience. From client-side models to server-side solutions, these examples highlight the exciting new functions and features available to users.
The Future of Web AI Agents
In his talk, Jason Mayes explores the future of Web AI Agents, bringing AI capabilities directly to the browser to perform tasks autonomously for users. With enhanced privacy, reduced latency, and cost savings, Web AI Agents offer a new way to upgrade websites and create personalized user experiences on the web.
Web AI agents are designed to integrate into existing web technologies in JavaScript. With advancements in hardware acceleration like WebNN, optimizing model execution across CPUs, GPUs, and NPUs will be crucial for running models in the browser efficiently.
Consider a hybrid approach that combines on-device processing with strategic cloud calls to create intelligent, responsive, and personalized user experiences in the browser.
