Okay but I fail to see how this is "new tech"?

Basically it's just... agreeing upon a description format for UI components ("put the component C with params p1, p2, ... at location x, y") using JSON / zod schema etc... and... that's it?

Then the agent just uses a tool "putCompoent(C, params, location)" which just renders the component?

I'm failing to understand how it would be more than this?

On one hand I agree that if we "all" find a standard way to describe those components, then we can integrate them easily in multiple tools so we don't have to do it again each time. At the same time, it seems like this is just a "nice render-based wrapper" over MCP / tool calls, no? am I missing something?

It's that plus the hosted service which interacts with the LLM, stores threads, handles auth, gives observability of interactions in your app, etc.
