Fingers-on with generative UI
I’m interested by generative UI as a form of evolution of the managed agentic atmosphere (like Firebase Studio). With an agentic IDE, you’ll be able to quickly prototype UIs by typing in an outline of what you need. GenUI is a logical subsequent bridge, the place the person prompts the hosted chatbot (like ChatGPT) to provide UI elements that the person can work together with on the fly.
In a way, if an AI software, even one thing like Gemini or ChatGPT with Code Dwell Preview energetic, turns into highly effective sufficient, it would push the individual utilizing it to put on the person hat, reasonably than the developer hat. We’ll most likely see that happen steadily, the place we finally spend extra time designing reasonably than coding, diving into developer mode solely when issues break or change into extra formidable.
To get hands-on with this concept, we are able to have a look at Vercel’s GenUI demo (or the Datastax mirror), which implements the streamUI operate:
