Generative UI
Definition
An interactive screen that an AI assembles for the current task instead of giving only a fixed page or plain-text answer.
Visual example
Tailored menu = generative UI
The kitchen connection
Think of a digital maître d’ assembling a tailored interactive menu for one guest’s request.
The illustration connects the AI idea to something familiar. Follow the subject, the action, and the result to see how it works.
- 01 · Who or what
- Tailored menu = generative UI
- 02 · What happens
- Builds cards for this request
- 03 · The result
- Makes the answer interactive
Why it matters
It turns an AI response into a task-specific interface people can inspect and use. The app should still validate data and actions.
