"I built a demo using Chrome's built-in AI support to do something I thought was really interesting - progressively enhance product reviews to make it easier to see which were trending negative versus positive. It was a great example (imo!) of how AI support could enhance the experience in supported browsers without impacting the experience for others. That demo was on my mind this week, and it occurred to me that it would also be a great place to add summarization."
"The Summarizer API is now fully released, for Chrome that is, and does not need a flag enabled or anything like that. I've blogged about this API a few times already, most recently when I used it to summarize comic books. The docs do a great job covering the API, but essentially it works pretty much just like the other ones:"
Chrome's Summarizer API is fully released and available without enabling flags. The API workflow requires checking for existence, verifying availability or downloading, creating a summarizer instance with options for type and summary length, and passing input to receive the summary. The API integrates into web pages to progressively enhance product reviews, surfacing trends of negative versus positive feedback in supported browsers while leaving non-supported browsers unchanged. Example data used for testing includes a Gemini-generated JSON array of cat carrier reviews containing enthusiastic praise and detailed complaints. The Summarizer aligns with existing browser AI features and follows a familiar API pattern.
