I made a prediction last year that there'd be a new UI protocol (like HTML) but for agents. I believe that custom or personalised UI's are going to be the new browser interface. More radically, I think browsers can be completely replaced. My news feed can be personalised to me, based on what AI thinks might be important from all sources like Reddit, X, HN.

Which brings up a different problem: personalized reading UI, personalized writing UI, how are those services going to pay their bills? Maybe they can sell access to their APIs but who's really going to buy that? Those services will die and will be replaced by some other service that will be born to serve those people.

Or, more probably IMHO, most people will keep using the standard UIs because they are ready and they need no work to build.

Sounds horrible, but plausible.

Now they extracted the value from interoperable open systems, they would love to replace it with closed proprietary systems.

So they are going to replace all the banking, utility, social media, news, gaming, streaming, government, work apps and other important websites people still rely on? Those companies and organizations are just going to provide an API to the chatbots?

How do sites like Wikipedia get updated? What if I need to upload important documents to different portals? It all has to go through the AI companies? They have access to medical records too? My taxes, social security, etc?

Is this how Microsoft imagines Office 365 and Sharepoint will be merged into? Disney, NY Times, Youtube, Netflix will all be fine with chatbots handling their content?

Why are you posts generally down voted?

This looks bad, I want the output to be as much as text based so I can easily export it and further processing it, plus, this might make the resource-eating app even worse.

Visuals are better for consumers/general public, when the use case is "help me cook X meal", or "where can I stop by to buy gas on the way to San Jose".

Rading most comments, people don't seem to be very impressed by it, I ain't either tbh - its not something mind-blowing (I have been doing this with Astra myself just by writing better prompts to make explainer interactive interfaces), but I do think its a good first step towards a better way of consuming information/answers than just reading text-vomits. I wonder if there is a way to train an LLM native to this kind of thing?

where are you reading the comments? Wasn't it just released? I can't imagine anyone I'd consider "general public users" to know about it yet

then just ask for text-only?

I read the comments here and I am really surprised by many people. One picture is worth a thousand words so with better UI you can make much better user experiences. This unlocks personal assistants to be better adopted by elderly or disabled people. I see so many benefits of it and having models which can do this (if they can do it constantly with good quality) is amazing. Much better products - I am really tired of dumb chatbot - if I can do something with one button or view the whole information in one diagram/image, this is amazing.

There's a type of UI that is very in vogue currently, it's kin of Futuristic UI that laymen find very cool and seeks to appeal to a WOW factor that suggests that the future is now.

I used to see it a lot in China, like the idea of pinching something on one phone and transferring it to another, or identification by showing your palm.

It's also the type of UI you would see in Hollywood movies, both because it's stuff that laymen scriptwriters and directors would find interesteng, but also the audiences would. Like the motion based UI in Minority Report, whatever was in the movie hackers, or that laptop suitcase thing that allows you to deploy nuclear codes or send wires.

I mean, I don't want to be a snob, clearly people like it, at least initially, I think it's outsider art of sorts, of course it will have problems, but it's not less legitimate because of that.

Anyways, this Intelligent UI thing where you ask it how a bike is made and it unravels a hollywood visual report as if it were showing the interiors of the target in a war room conference, it reminds me of that type of futurisitic outsider UI.
