Speakers: Rupert Manfredi (Telepath)
Track: Software Engineering
Applications package a predetermined interface, data model and set of capabilities around somebody else’s idea of a task. Generative models can now produce software on demand, but generative UI today either sits atop the existing application stack or replaces the richness of the app with an interface disconnected from the data and capabilities needed to do useful work.
This talk asks what happens when we replace the app all the way down.
In this live, demo-led talk, I’ll use Television—a system we are building for full-stack generative software—to make the architecture concrete. I’ll walk through the post-app stack, the problems each layer solves, the alternatives we tried and why we arrived at the current design. The result is not an app with AI in it, or a chat box that launches apps, but software that can take a different shape each time while remaining connected to dependable state and real-world actions. I’ll cover the central trade-offs between generated and durable software, flexibility and consistency, and agent autonomy and legible control. Attendees will leave with a practical architectural model for building agentic software beyond the app for production systems—and an understanding of why generating pixels is the easy part.
