TL;DR Generative UI is the next evolution of AI interaction, moving beyond text to create dynamic, agent-driven user interfaces. We explored three key patterns - Static (AG-UI), Declarative (A2UI), and Open-ended UI - and used the CopilotKit framework to build two demos: a Tic-Tac-Toe assistant, and a 2D RPG with LangGraph NPC. Why Generative UI? Today’s AI agents primarily communicate through te…
