Guillermo Rauch Predicts Future of AI is More Chat & Generative UI, Not Less ============================================================================  ### Guillermo Rauch
@rauchg
Every month I periodically see the recycled take that “something better than chat” is coming for AI. That chat is temporary.
In fact, I predict the opposite. More of our work and life will happen through chat and voice interfaces of increasingly intelligent agents. 🦞 OpenClaw is the lobster in the coal mine of this.
It’s true that as humans we consume with all the senses. When we use our internal company agent at @vercel, it can answer any question in English, but also plot data and richly visualize it. All in the chat medium. You start with any question, and receive periodic reports, much like an enterprise claw, on @slackhq. If the chat is not enough, you’re one click away from more depth and refinement on a web page.
I don’t believe web pages are going anywhere. Many will evolve to accept natural language, which is the lingua franca of AI, and stream both text and complex data. We call this Generative UI (eg:json-render.devs).
And web pages will also be crucial in enriching the conversations that happen elsewhere, whether you’re chatting with your agent on WhatsApp or Slack. We’re buildingchat-sdk.dev5 to make this universal interface as easy to deploy as possible.Show More

Summary
Guillermo Rauch, CEO of Vercel, challenges the common belief that chat interfaces for AI are temporary. He predicts that more of our work and life will happen through increasingly intelligent chat and voice agents. He provides examples from Vercel's internal agent, which can answer questions, plot, and visualize data all within a chat medium. Rauch also suggests that traditional web pages will not disappear but will evolve to accept natural language and stream both text and complex data, a concept he terms "Generative UI" (referencing json-render.dev). He emphasizes the crucial role of web pages in enriching conversations on chat platforms like WhatsApp and Slack, mentioning chat-sdk.dev as a project to simplify the deployment of such universal interfaces.
