I evaluated Windsurf at a friend's recommendation around half a year ago and found that it could not produce any useful behaviors on files above a thousand lines or so. I understand this is mostly a property of the model, but certainly also a property of the approach used by the editor of just tossing the entire file in, yeah? I haven't tried any of these products since then, but it might be worth another shot because Gemini might be able to handle these files.

This looks like a neat idea, but I'm not too positive about it.

This makes using computers even harder to explain to people who do not spend their entire day keeping up with the latest developments. They cannot form a mental image or reuse any memory of what will happen next, because it is all context dependent.

On the other end of the spectrum, for power users, dynamically adapting user interfaces can also be quite annoying. One can't type ahead, or use shortcut keys, because one doesn't know what the context will be. Having to wait any positive amount of time for feedback is limiting.

Then again, there are probably tons of places where this is useful. I'm just a bit disappointed that we (as a society) haven't gotten the basics covered: programming still requires text files that can be sent to a matrix printer, and the latency of most applications is increasing instead of decreasing as computers become faster.

LLMs generating just-in-time UI has a lot of interest and effort going into it. It's usually called "generative UI" or "dynamic UI generation". It was a pretty hot about a year ago. Here's a HF blog on it https://huggingface.co/blog/airabbitX/llm-chatbots-30. Also check out Microsoft's Adaptive Cards. Nielsen Group wrote about it too. https://www.nngroup.com/articles/generative-ui/

The problem is it's hard to come up with better examples than your toy examples of weather and maps. Goodness there are so many travel planning demos. Who actually wants the context switch of a UI popping up mid-typed-sentence? Is a date picker really more convenient than typing "next school break"? Visualizations are interesting -- but that changes the framing from soliciting input to densifying information presentation. Datagrids and charts'll be valuable.

Anyway, it's a space that's still starving for great ideas. Good luck!

Cool idea. FYI the GitHub link at the bottom leads to "page not found". Maybe the repo is not public?

I can relate to this. Could you point me to any resources about keto diets?
