How AI is reshaping user interface design paradigms. Moving beyond static screens to dynamic, intent-based interfaces.
User interfaces have traditionally been static, designed by humans to accommodate a wide range of potential user flows. Generative AI is upending this paradigm, enabling interfaces that adapt in real-time to user intent.
Instead of navigating through a fixed menu structure, users can express their goal, and the UI constructs itself to facilitate that specific task. This "just-in-time" interface generation reduces cognitive load and streamlines complex workflows.
Generative UI doesn't mean generating pixels from scratch every time. It relies on a robust design system of flexible components that an AI can assemble on the fly. The challenge lies in defining the constraints and rules that ensure these assembled interfaces remain usable and accessible.
