Bring AI-Based Search to Your Web App

Demo shows a working face‑filter proof of concept using the Face Detection API and webcam to add glasses in-browser, plus a separate set of demos that actually index and query 10 million Wikipedia paragraphs via a vector database (Weaviate) and multilingual/vectorizers (Cohere, OpenAI) for semantic search, image lookup with CLIP, and on‑the‑fly GPT summarization. Live coding runs, queries return plausible results, and image matches find celebrities — so the talk is about concrete tools, demoed builds, and results that mostly work.
