With tools like Genkit, ADK, and Vertex AI, we are no longer just designing interfaces.
We are designing intelligence.
Here’s the shift happening right now:
Before AI
• Buttons
• Forms
• Dashboards
• Fixed workflows
User clicks → system responds
With AI
• Conversations
• Smart suggestions
• Agents that take actions
• Systems that understand context
User asks → AI thinks → AI acts → UI adapts
Genkit helps design AI interaction flows.
ADK helps design intelligent agents that complete tasks.
Vertex AI brings scalable intelligence and multimodal understanding.
This changes the role of product design completely.
We move from:
Designing screens → Designing intelligent systems
Building tools → Building assistants
Creating workflows → Creating adaptive experiences
The future of product design is not UI-first.
It’s AI-first.
The real question is, are we ready to design production systems where AI handles reasoning, decisions, and actions not just responses?
