User interfaces for AI-native applications:
1. Lots of things happening in parallel, asynchronously.
2. Updating the user via the voice channel.
3. Updating the onscreen UI with structured data.
All of these are tricky to get right! (1) involves managing context sharing between multiple LLM/tool loops. (2) requires carefully managing events and inference triggering for the voice agent. (3) is a fun natural language -> structured output design exercise.
Jon Taylor@JonPTaylorLanding today in Gradient Bang: further combat updates for observed / indirect encounters. Useful when you prefer having corp ships as muscle (keeping your personal ship safe and sound in fed space!)
Updating the map and ship status on the UI was a much needed feature.
We'll be talking about building these kinds of AI-native applications at the SF Voice AI Meetup next week. Join us!
