Traditional chat interfaces only return text, but what if your AI assistant could render custom React components directly in the conversation? In this lightning talk, we’ll explore generative UI - where chat applications stream contextually appropriate React components instead of plain text responses. When users ask about sales data, they get interactive charts. When they search for properties, they get rich product cards. Through code examples, you’ll see how to build chat interfaces where AI intelligently selects and renders React components populated with real-time data from semantic search and vector databases. You’ll walk away with practical patterns for implementing this technique and understanding how modern data platforms enable these dynamic, visual conversational experiences that go far beyond simple text responses.
