Beyond the Chatbox: Engineering Generative Interfaces with React and A2UI
AI interfaces are starting to outgrow the chatbox. Instead of returning only text, agents can assemble the interface a user needs in real time. The challenge is enabling that flexibility without giving an AI model unrestricted control over the frontend.
This talk presents a bounded architecture for generative UI using React and Google’s A2UI protocol. We’ll explore how agents can stream declarative interface schemas that are validated and mapped onto trusted components from an existing design system. We’ll also cover component contracts, server actions, client-side state, streaming, and the boundary between agent-generated structure and application-controlled behaviour.

Instant Navigations: How Next.js Makes Server-Rendered Apps Feel Like SPAs
Client-side navigation has always been the SPA advantage over server-rendered apps - click a link, see the next page instantly, no round trip. Next.js has been closing that gap piece by piece, and its latest rendering model gets it most of the way there without giving up streaming, caching, or Server Components. This talk breaks down how Next.js decides what's static and what's dynamic at the component level rather than the route level, why that shift is what actually makes instant navigation possible, and what's involved in bringing it into an existing production app.
