3 UI & Frontends Tools

Definition

What belongs in UI & Frontends?

This category covers frontend systems built around agent-generated interfaces, agent-user interaction, or shared human-agent work rather than conventional application UI alone.

Includes agent-generated or agent-editable interfaces, shared human-agent workspaces, and frontends that expose structured state, events, review, or handoff.

Scope

Inclusion and exclusion criteria

Include when

  • Agents can create or materially edit the interface or its content.
  • The interface exposes structured state, events, or collaboration designed for agent participation.
  • Human-agent review or handoff is a documented core workflow.

Exclude when

  • It is a general component library or frontend framework with no agent-specific capability.
  • AI is limited to copy generation or a superficial chat widget.

Selection guide

How to compare these tools

  • What can the agent create, change, or observe in the interface?
  • How is state shared between the person and the agent?
  • Can agent-originated changes be reviewed or attributed?

Typical use cases

  • Let agents generate or update interactive user interfaces
  • Share interface state between people and agents
  • Review and attribute agent-originated interface changes
