GenUI Design: Foundational Patterns
"Service design is evolving and we're quickly moving past static screens and pages toward dynamic, contextual experiences. In my previous article, Service Design in the Era of AI Agents, I discussed this evolution in detail. After reading it, many people reached out with one specific question: what exact design patterns will we use for GenUI apps? In this article, I decided to discuss specific foundational patterns for GenUI apps."
"Despite that a concept of a GenUI system sounds fancy, in reality its possible to break it down into 3 foundational elements: LLMs models interpret user goals. This of it as AI 'brain' that analyzes user input, behavior, and provided data to understand the context. Design systems + tokens. AI uses pre-defined building blocks such as components, styles, accessibility rules when interacting with users. Real-time rendering engines. AI pairs context with design system elements to assemble layouts dynamically."
GenUI is a paradigm where AI dynamically generates and adapts user interface elements in real time based on user context, goals, and behavior. GenUI systems rest on three foundational elements: LLMs that interpret user goals, design systems with tokens providing components and accessibility rules, and real-time rendering engines that assemble layouts dynamically. Design patterns act as reusable problem→solution→guidelines templates that can be plugged directly into specs or design systems. Six foundational patterns apply to GenUI products. The intent-capture pattern combines explicit goal capture from user prompts with analysis of recent intents and supports plain-text expression for simple cases.
