In the early 2000s Microsoft did a lot of research in to "Inductive User Interfaces". [1] The closest approximation still around would be Wizard interfaces.
Creating those UIs was so rewarding, as you really had to focus on the goals of the user and figure out the branching that could get the right user to the action or activity that they needed to perform.
My first "startup" was a tool for life insurance agents to recommend products to their prospective customers. IUIs were perfect for scenarios like that. You could abstract away a lot of complexity.
They were also great for accessibility.
