可塑界面：AI驱动的未来软件形态
Plastic User Interfaces
Salesforce已采用无头架构，允许销售人员通过AI直接更新数据，许多公司正通过MCPs跟进。同时，AI专家们正推动超越纯文本、更丰富的界面（如HTML），支持图表与交互。AI能根据场景动态生成定制化界面。无头系统并非移除前端，而是支持多种可塑化界面（如音频、网页）。未来软件的核心价值在于动态管理这些界面、确保其准确性，并将各类AI产物整合为可演化的上下文数据库与制品库。用户界面并未消失，而是变得“可塑”，能按需变形。
动态 UI 不是消灭界面，而是让界面变得可塑性。Airbnb CEO 和 Anthropic 工程师都在押注 HTML 输出，这篇文章把信号串了起来，做产品的人值得一看。
In short : AI is making software interfaces dynamic and malleable, shifting SaaS from fixed application heads toward many purpose-built user experiences.
Salesforce has gone headless : a sales person can update their deal sheet without ever logging into salesforce.com through AI. Many companies are following suit with MCPs. English as an interface to complex systems is a tremendous innovation.
And yet, some of the most sophisticated thinkers in AI are pushing more than markdown text, a format AI & computer systems use. These thinkers espouse richer UIs :
“Imagine using iMessage to do everything, when in fact every other app has a unique interface…With e-commerce, you want a very rich user interface.” - Brian Chesky, CEO of AirBNB
“I want richer visualizations, color, and diagrams and I want to be able to share them easily,” he adds. “I’ve started preferring HTML as an output format instead of Markdown and increasingly see this being used by others on the Claude Code team, this is why.” — Thariq Shihipar, Claude Code engineer
AI enables us to dynamically create UIs whenever we need them built for purpose. Custom-tailored to vacation shopping, CRM updating, or terminal typing, whatever the recipient’s preference might be.
Headless systems don’t decapitate the system ; they enable many user interfaces.
On the go? How about an audio summary of your email? Reviewing marketing copy? Interactive web app. Planning expenses for next year? Interactive spreadsheet with charts.
Software systems need to decide which of these to keep over time & which are disposable ; those newer semi-permanent artifacts will become the new heads - yes, there will be many - & they’ll evolve as business does.
This dynamic UI management is the future of software value : the harness to control the interface/ensure it’s correct & the knowledge management to rationalize all the AI products over time as a context database & library of artifacts.
The user interface, the head isn’t disappearing, it’s become plastic, malleable to the interface a user needs when they need it. There’s a great future in plastics.
