New and disruptive interfaces will emerge that aggregate and connect the underlying services we use to live and work. Some companies are rising to the occasion, including Command E (an easy keyboard shortcut to open any document, contact, file or record from the cloud)

This “undulant interface” was made by John Underkoffler. The heresy implicit within is the premise that the user, not the system, gets to define what is most important at any given moment; where to place the jeweler’s loupes for more detail, and where to show only a simple overview, within one consistent interface.

Really important principle here, we surely now have enough computational power to actually begin to create interfaces for humans first, rather than for the needs of the developer or the computational stack first.
First, there will be amazing bolt-on uses of AI for existing products that really make those products much better and can just be added as features. They don’t change the workflow that much, but they already add a lot of value. I think Copilot is one of those, but there will also be , I think, new things that don’t fit neatly into an existing produ

hate to admit it, but this tracks. ui design starts becoming more important the moment you have a sufficiently capable data structure/model in place
users will ask for features when what they actually want is a specific view
this probably explains notion » coda
notion has very good views and is adding automations after the fact
coda has very good automations and is adding views after the fact
my hunch is most people are visual learners. they prefer to have information laid out the right way and only then can they reason about it.
automations are reasoning before seeing
this is also why cli tools, chatbots, and other text based ui paradigms are niche or quickly fall out of favor. too much reasoning without the requisite framing.
