About
DIS 2025 conference paper that proposes the first working definition of Generative UI (GenUI) through literature review and case analysis. The research identifies GenUI as a new paradigm of interface creation where "humans and AI collaborate at design-time to generate interfaces, and users interact with AI-generated interfaces at runtime". The paper summarizes five key characteristics of GenUI: co-creation, design space expansion, representational fluidity, contextual adaptation, and generation-first.
Summary
Five Key Characteristics of GenUI:
1. Co-creation: Humans and AI collaborate during the design phase to generate interfaces
2. Design Space Expansion: AI expands the possible design options beyond human imagination
3. Representational Fluidity: Interfaces can dynamically change their form and presentation
4. Contextual Adaptation: UIs adapt to user context, preferences, and task requirements
5. Generation-first: Prioritizes generating new interfaces over modifying existing ones
Design vs Runtime: Clear distinction between design-time (human-AI collaboration) and runtime (user-AI interaction) phases
