It seems the only code that runs in the browser here is the code that talks to LLMs on servers.

Why would you need WASM for this?

They're using some python libraries like openai-agents so presumably it's to save on development efforts of calling/prompting/managing the HTTP endpoints. But yes this could just be done in regular JS in the browser, they'd have to write a lot of boilerplate for an ecosystem which is mainly Python.

Surely that's a prime use for AI?
