Inside the Chrome Dev Prompt Lab at Google I/O 2026
Chrome launches DevTools for agents, an AI evaluator for web performance and code quality
“AI redefining who builds, how we build, and what we build for the web.”
Google showcased Chrome's new AI-powered developer tooling at Google I/O 2026, including 'DevTools for agents' — an evaluator that measures web performance, UX, and accessibility against modern guidance. The demo included an interactive lab where a coding agent could audit any URL and generate feedback. This signals Google's push to embed agentic AI directly into the browser development workflow, though the announcement is incremental rather than transformative.
