Integrating AI features in Vue using Chrome’s `window.ai` API
Blog post from LogRocket
Chrome's new window.ai API introduces on-device AI capabilities directly within the browser, allowing developers to integrate AI features into web applications without extensive machine learning expertise. This API enhances client-side functionality by eliminating the need for server-side processing and cloud-based services, offering pre-trained models and ready-made APIs for ease of use. The tutorial explores how to use this API with Vue.js to build an AI-powered chatbot, highlighting the benefits of privacy-sensitive features and cost management by offloading processing to users’ devices. However, challenges remain, such as running large model sizes on websites and the complexities of prompt engineering. Despite these challenges, the API promises near-instant results and potential cost savings, especially appealing for businesses seeking to offer AI features. The evolution of AI in web development is expected to continue, with advancements in technologies like WebGPU and WebAssembly, promoting faster on-device inference. However, it's important to note that the window.ai API is experimental and might not be included in future Chrome updates.
