36:28AI Interfaces Of The Future | Design Review

TL;DR
The video reviews seven cutting‑edge AI interfaces (Vapi, Retail AI, Gumloop, AnswerGrid, Polymat, Zune, Argil) that go beyond the common chat UI, focusing on design patterns such as latency as interface, adaptive UI, canvas‑based workflow visualization, and the trade‑off between fidelity and immediacy.
Key insights
- A fundamental shift from static “nouns” (buttons, forms, dropdowns) to dynamic “verbs” (workflows, autocomplete, autonomous information‑gathering) necessitates new design tooling.
- Latency is itself an interface element – the speed of response directly affects whether the interaction feels human or robotic; exposing latency in milliseconds (e.g., in a developer mode) builds user
- Voice‑only interfaces without visual feedback (e.g., microphone activation or speaking indication) can confuse users, so pairing multimodal cues is important when a screen is present.
