🤖 My Experience at DevFest: The Future of AI Agents
Participating in Google DevFest Ecuador 2025 was an eye-opening experience that changed my perspective on the near future of web development and Artificial Intelligence. It wasn’t just about listening to talks; it was about immersing myself in practical workshops where we explored everything from Web AI to the orchestration of Autonomous Agents.
Here I share my main takeaways and how these technologies are redefining what we can build.
🌐 Web AI: Native AI in the Browser
What impacted me the most was seeing how the browser is becoming a true AI Hub. The concept is powerful: running models directly on the user’s device.
I learned about native APIs like window.ai in Chrome, which allow sophisticated tasks to be performed without relying on external servers.
- Privacy: Data never leaves the device.
- Costs: Zero server infrastructure costs.
- Latency: Instant responses.
It’s a paradigm shift: stop paying for cloud tokens and start leveraging local hardware.
📚 RAG: Giving Context to LLMs
In the workshops, we dived deep into RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation). I understood that an LLM by itself is like an encyclopedia frozen in time. For real business applications, we need the model to “read” our private documents.
We implemented flows where the model retrieves specific information before responding, eliminating hallucinations and providing accurate responses based on proprietary data.
🤝 Building Digital Teams
Perhaps the most valuable lesson was about Agent Orchestration. It’s no longer about a single bot trying to do it all. The future lies in coordinating “digital teams” of specialized agents.
We practiced patterns like Prompt Chaining, where a “Planner” agent breaks down a task and delegates it to “Executor” agents. Seeing multiple agents collaborating to solve a complex problem was fascinating and opened my mind to new software architectures.
🚀 Personal Conclusion
I return from DevFest with the certainty that we are entering an era where we not only code logic but orchestrate intelligence. The tools to build powerful, private, and efficient applications are already here, and I am excited to integrate them into my upcoming projects.
”What would you build if you didn’t have to do it alone anymore?” — This question from the event continues to resonate with me.
