Chad Michel - "The Interface Is Dissolving: Designing UI for an Agentic World"

Chad is revising his recent talk from AgentCon: For thirty years, we built interfaces around one assumption: a person points, clicks, types, and navigates to a result. Agents break it. When software can read intent and act on its own, the interface stops being something you operate and becomes something you supervise. "Just add a chat box" is the wrong lesson from the last two years. The work shifts from navigation to delegation. We no longer design the clicks to finish a task. We design how someone asks for it, watches it run, and decides whether to trust what comes back. That raises the hard questions: how to show an agent's reasoning without burying the user, when to build in moments to approve or correct, and what "undo" means once an action has already touched five systems. Chat is a stage, not the finish line. The teams that win won't have the smartest agents. They'll have designed the clearest line between human judgment and machine action.
