Susanna Wong, Google Developer Expert for Web, breaks down Declarative and Imperative APIs at #GoogleIOConnect Berlin.
AI agents often struggle with web interactions due to a lack of clear instructions, leading to guesswork in task execution. WebMCP helps solve this by offering a proposed web standard that enables websites to provide AI agents with a labeled directory of page tools. Implement this using the Declarative API for HTML forms or the Imperative API for custom JavaScript tools. This ensures AI agents can instantly complete tasks like checkout, eliminating guesswork and broken steps.

![Modernizing the Pinterest carousel: 90% less code with native CSS
How do you build a web that inspires 600 million users? At Pinterest, the Close Up experience is core to how users discover ideas. But over time, the JavaScript powering carousel experience became a patchwork of 2,000 lines of code—resulting in noticeable lag and jank for users.
In this video, Pinterest engineers Calvin and Anuja walk through how they swapped legacy JavaScript for modern CSS carousels and View Transitions. The results? A 90% reduction in code, a 15% improvement in page load time, and a smoother, native-feeling UI.
