Using the Chrome AI Summarizer (Early Look)

/ / No Comments
I’ve looked at Chrome’s on-device GenAI development a few times now, and as a feature it is moving pretty fast. In fact, that first post and my follow up both don’t work anymore due to the API changing. I’m fine with that as I knew it was a bleeding edge feature, but I just want to warn folks ahead of time that everything you see here may, no, will change, probably a lot. As before though, I’m keep getting more and more excited about the possibilities here.

This too does not work terribly well yet, but I think the idea has merit... more →

A Quick Look at AI in Chrome

/ / No Comments
Google announced a while back their intent to experiment with generative AI in the browser itself. Personally, I think this could be a really good idea, but I’m really unsure as to how many other vendors would support it. With Edge being a Chromium product, and Microsoft being pro-GenAI, it seems like a safe bet it would support it. Safari and Firefox… I honestly feel like they probably never would. That being said, initial support landed in Chrome Canary (the bleeding edge version of Chrome) and I thought I’d take a quick look. Here’s what I found. Setting it Up To test this new feature, you need either Chrome Canary or Dev. Enabling support requires tweaking two flags... more →
