Introduced Firebase Genkit, an open-source framework for building AI features in applications. Key features include a CLI and developer UI for testing and iteration, 'flow' primitive for observable end-to-end AI workflows, and the 'dotprompt' file format for managing prompts, models, and configurations. Demonstrated its use in the Compass app for generating embeddings with pgvector and text-embedding-gecko API, implementing semantic search with a retriever, and deploying to Cloud Run. Highlights the integration with Google Cloud, Firebase, and Vertex AI plugins.
