Web AI: Magic or Myth?
Sand Dollar Apps
Track: Web

Fresh from the WebAI Summit in Sunnyvale, Liz Myers brings the debate to DevFest MN.
The Magic: Watch LingoWise—her language tutor—perform real-time speech recognition, neural translation, and text-to-speech entirely in the browser. No servers. No APIs. Zero ongoing costs.
The Myth: "All that glitters is not gold." Where do browser AI models actually fall short? When should you stick with cloud APIs? Liz will show you both the wins and the limitations—live.
This isn't marketing hype—it's a production-ready app born from a real problem (learning French on planes without WiFi). Come see how Transformers.js, WebSpeech APIs, and modern web standards create intelligent, privacy-first applications that actually work.
