Building Agents in the Browser with Hashbrown

Agentic frameworks like Mastra, LangGraph, and PydanticAI make it easy to compose LLMs that reason and act. But most of these systems are designed for long-running backend workflows. What if we treated agents as a browser-side UI capability instead?

In this talk, Mike Ryan, creator of Hashbrown, explores building agentic behavior directly into web applications. We’ll focus on developer ergonomics for ephemeral UI tasks like notification summarization, generative UI chat, natural language form inputs, and inline content transformations. Through concrete examples and real code, you’ll see how browser-native agents enable faster iteration, tighter UI feedback loops, and new interaction patterns that are difficult to express in traditional server-first agent architectures.
