What are AI-first applications?

Apps where AI isn't bolted-on – it's the beating heart, driving outputs that learn, predict, adapt in real-time.

How will AI change frontend design principles?

From rigid consistency to fluid transparency: UIs explain changes, prioritize smarts over sameness, turn static screens into living partners.

Will traditional UI principles become obsolete?

Not obsolete – remixed. Predictability lives in patterns, not pixels; adaptability reigns for AI's probabilistic magic.
