Do you hate the designer changed the UI of your favorite app so you have to relearn it every three months? Congrats! Now you need to relearn it every time you

Do you hate the designer changed the UI of your favorite app so you have to relearn it every three months? Congrats! Now you need to relearn it every time you open the app.

That's why I have my own model restyle the delivered UI to my preferred UI.

The goal of generative UI should be to make software more personal while preserving the workflows people already know. Two users might have very different interfaces, but each should have a consistent experience over time.

  I can only imagine the troubleshooting and customer support experience. Yet another problem created by “ai” that’s probably only solvable with more “ai”

    I understand the skepticism. We hear this often and are working on it. As AI agents become more common in SaaS, these experiences will become more reliable and ready for everyday use.

Nothing stops you from caching known states and workflows, or simply making the "fast" part of your interface fixed. I think this could be genuinely useful for one-off cases for which no interface exists, or simply for interface prototyping and design.

I can think of one use case for this: Dashboards to answer one-off questions. Think PowerBI, Tableau, etc.

  yes, conversational analytics is what most of users use OpenUI for.

Another way to think of this is you just ship the UI DSL, and the user can get the app to customize it themselves with built-in guardrails. Everything should be LCARS at this point.

  It practically is, considering that "looks good on TV" seems to be a much higher priority than "usable".

You missed the point, it's not for you to write.

Chat Ui killed the GUI star. language is The ultimate UI. I guess you still need graphs (mainly so you can have dramatic moments in movies), but that's it

  love that song! Not every interaction would be conversational, that's why we spent more than 50 years building GUI

Why will you be using UI when you have an agent? UI is text or voice input. A website just has to look pretty
