The Ultimate Guide to Browser-Based AI: Privacy-First, Offline-Ready, and Fully Future-Proof by Maxim Salnikov
Generative and intelligent features are quickly becoming a core part of modern web experiences—but they often come with trade-offs: privacy concerns, reliance on internet connectivity, and the cost of using cloud-based APIs. What if you could bring powerful AI directly into the browser, on the user's device?
In this session, we’ll explore the full landscape of browser-based AI and machine learning—no servers required. From text generation and image recognition to real-time transcription and offline copilots, the web platform now provides a rich toolbox of APIs and tools to enable truly private, performant, and intelligent experiences.

After four years of building, breaking, and learning at iBOOD, we’ve discovered what makes a development team truly successful. No frameworks, no dogma—just seven practical habits that help teams ship great software, stay motivated, and keep improving.
This talk is based on real experiences, not theory, nor agile BS. We’ll dive into:
Prioritizing Pragmatically Balancing business needs, technical debt, and innovation.
Killing Complexity Keeping architecture, code, and processes simple, even as you scale.
Owning the Work Why autonomy beats process, and how teams can take real ownership.
Communicating Relentlessly Why constant, transparent communication makes everything smoother.
Building Microteams Why smaller, focused teams move faster and collaborate better.
Delivering Continuously Making small, frequent releases a habit (without the chaos).
Having Fun Because happy teams build better software. An afterthought about purpose, mastery, and autonomy.
I’ll share stories from the trenches—what worked, what failed, and what we’d never do again. If you’ve ever wondered how to build a team that doesn’t just survive but thrives, this talk will give you concrete ideas to take back to your team.")
