This really feels like a missed opportunity to build something genuinely new, something that actually plays to the strengths of LLMs, instead of just embedding a fixed set of app screens inside chat.

Ideally, users should be able to describe a task, and the AI would figure out which tools to use, wire them together, and show the result as an editable workflow or inline canvas the user can tweak. Frameworks like LlamaIndex’s Workflow or LangGraph already let you define these directed graphs manually in Python where each node can do something specific, branch, or loop. But the AI should be able to generate those DAGs on the fly, since it’s just code underneath.

And given that LLMs are already quite good at generating UI code and following a design system (see v0.app), there’s not much reason to hardcode screens at all. The model can just create and adapt them as needed.

Really hope Google doesn’t follow OpenAI down this path.

Actually these giant companies have proven innovation is impossible. Any company that tries just gets stepped on by the bigger papa company stealing their idea and putting them out of business.

(Also read the documentation, they specifically mention that you can tell it to create new flow paths)
