The UI era is ending. 🪦 For 70 years we designed computer interfaces. Mainframe, CLI, GUI, Touch. But with AI, the interface is disappearing. What will come next? My talk from Mastra's conf this week:

"Maybe the right UI for AI is a generative UI." Here's my new interview with Stephen Chau featuring a live demo of Cove's ground-breaking visual AI interface that breaks free from chatbots. We had a great chat about: - Real world use cases for visual AI interfaces - Generative UI and just-in-time AI apps - How Stephen scaled Uber Eats to $25B ARR Some quotes from Stephen Chau: "In computing, we moved from the command line to graphic user interfaces. Chatbots are like the command line era of AI. What's next is this..." "Imagine the entire layout of the workspace and all its contents is something made just in time, based on what you're trying to do..." "Our goal with Uber Eats was to build a business that's the same size as the Rides business. Here's what mattered..." 📌 Watch now:

The next arms race in football is here. AI has been lingering for the last couple years. But from my conversations with coaches this week alone... It's go time.

Sam is absolutely right. The moment AI agents get full access to a computer and the web, we cross a threshold from “tools we use” to “systems that act.” This is not just another upgrade. It is the beginning of autonomous productivity at scale. Research, execution, iteration, all happening in parallel while we focus on higher level thinking. The interface era is ending. The agent era is beginning.

AI instead of UI The last few years radically changed how we think about digital products & product design process in general. What we are witnessing right now is a transition where AI is no longer just a feature; it is becoming the infrastructure of interaction. For decades, UI design was rooted in the concept of “Happy Path,” a series of static, linear screens (routes from A to B) designed to funnel users toward a goal. This “one-size-fits-all” approach assumes that all users have the same mental model, which is far from the truth. The rise of AI tools like ChatGPT and Gemini is showing that we are moving into an era of Generative Interfaces. Instead of a designer pre-determining every button and menu, the interface is synthesized in real-time based on user actions. Back in 2019, Gleb Kuznetsov and I were working on the concept of morphing Interface, the idea of a UI that adapts its structure based on user intent. The great thing about this UI is that it was highly dynamic: different users saw different content/contextual actions based on their behavior. This concept was crazy in 2019, but it is highly relevant to the modern state of the product design process. And I strongly believe that it represents the future of UI design. We will move beyond the “AI chatbox" crutch Yes, many products today treat AI as a sidecar (think of Copilots or chatbots pinned to the side of a traditional dashboard), but this is a transitional phase. Why? Because adding a chat window to a 20-year-old software layout is like putting a jet engine on a horse-drawn carriage. That's why the future isn't "AI as an add-on"; it is AI as the Operating System. AI will power generative interfaces that are rooted in anticipatory design: UI won’t wait for a command; it will surface tools based on the user's current environmental context and historical behavior. This evolution changes the very nature of product design, and we will move away from designing pages/screens and toward designing systems of logic.

[VIDEO] The Humane AI pin just launched for $699. Is this pin going to be the new Apple iPhone? Idk, but here are 3 big takeaways from the launch: 1. OpenAI/Microsoft will eventually become infra for all tech Hard to beat them at this rate, they will become AWS for AI 2. AI is gonna make apps (as we know them) a lot less important Screenless interfaces powered by AI will be connected to apps on the back end and bundled into a subscription service My Humane subscription will come with Tidal and I will rarely/never need to interface with tidal again Many consumer products will go from B2C -> B2B 3. Product design is going to look a lot different in 5-10 years Maybe unrecognizable. The bottom line is how we are interacting with these devices are changing. This week we had the GPT store. Agents are the new apps. Now we have AI pins. The palm of your hand is your new screen. Wild times. -- Follow me GREG ISENBERG for more takes on where the world is going. Link in bio for more insights. Email going out today on how to find proven startup ideas.

This is the best way to build UI with AI. Use Cursor + V0. With a custom prompt (below), you can easily trigger V0 to create beautiful interfaces for you directly from Cursor Composer. Watch this insane building hack.

This is the future of UI. I built an AI chat that transforms itself as you talk. Words shape not just the conversation, but the entire interface and tone. Want a new look? Dark mode? Windows 98? Ask, and watch the UI transform✨ Deployed on Replit ⠕ for everyone to try. 👇

“Today’s AI is the flip phone era.” Sundar Pichai, CEO of Google and Alphabet, says today’s AI models will look primitive in just 3 years. Agents will become normal, interfaces will fade, and content will move from any format to any format.

Eight years of incredible memories. We talked often about the Rams being back in LA and how we would grow to be something special here. And there was frustration early on around getting the buy in from the people of LA. But we knew at the end of the day, it’s about providing moments. Shared experiences. The things that parents and their children will talk about and remember forever. That is what makes the ending of these last eight years so difficult. It’s the ending of something we have enjoyed building with you. Thank you for these shared moments. Thank you LA for welcoming my family with open arms and allowing us to grow here. Next chapter starts now. Best is yet to come.

We raised $5.5M to build an AI hardware interface that knows what you want. The world has changed: we talk to our devices, AI writes our emails, and self-driving cars pick us up. But how we interact with it all, touchscreens and keyboards, was designed for an age of browsing and searching. When we do hundreds of tasks a day, now even more with AI, every unnecessary decision, every step spent navigating instead of acting adds up to real cognitive load. We are building the Hardware Interface, designed for the age of AI. Private Pilot now open. Limited spots.

The rapture is coming! The Chuch era of grace is ending. Jesus will be removing His Church from this world. It won't be aliens or UFOs. After this, the Tribulation will begin. The most horrifying 7 years the world will ever suffer - the judgment of God! Time to come to Jesus NOW!

To design for the next billions of AI users we’ll need to rethink everything! From new contexts, geographies and ways to prompt — to what interfaces we build. Thoughts like this led to a conversation with Dheemanth Reddy on, “How do we bring AI to the next 6 billion people?”

Nimo Infinity - Introducing the World’s First AI Browser for Productivity. Nimo We’re reinventing the GUI for AI. As Andrej Karpathy recently pointed out at Y Combinator AI Startup School, the GUI for AI hasn’t been invented yet. We filed a patent back in 2017 for an intelligent GUI for smartphones, but the technology wasn’t ready at the time. Since AI became real, all those ideas came rushing back. We started building Nimo Infinity over the past few months, thinking differently to design a rich, functional interface for all your AI Apps and Agents in a single canvas, with a deep focus on productivity. Our mission is to build an entirely new AI OS that is secure, transparent, and interactive. Today, we are taking the first step with an AI Browser. Key Highlights: 1. An Infinite Canvas for all your AI Apps & Agents 2. Memory and Context 3. Custom Chromium Engine We’ve spent the last 7 years working on Spatial OS and ultra-portable spatial computers. That experience has shaped how we approach the AI Browser with a completely new interface, purpose-built for AI. #AI #AIBrowser #GUI
