MediaPipe

Ready-made AI features, such as spotting hands, faces or objects, that developers can add to apps.

Research-backed

What it does

MediaPipe is Google's toolkit for adding machine-learning features to apps that run directly on phones, computers, websites and small devices, without needing a server.

It offers ready-to-use solutions for vision, text and audio tasks, with pre-trained models. Developers can customize models with their own data and test them in a browser tool called MediaPipe Studio.

There is also a lower-level framework for building custom processing pipelines for live video and audio.

Who it's for

App developers who want to add on-device AI features like gesture or face tracking.
