this generative UI approach is interesting. curious how you handle the UI rendering - are you building native desktop views or rendering in a webview? also, what happens when the data structure changes from one of those integrations, does the UI break or adapt?

Thanks! It uses a WebKit webview. The agent uses CLI, MCP, and headless browser (fallback) to interact with apps so what is generated is up to the apps' protocols themselves. Data refreshing is not yet implemented so all generated UIs are for now ephemeral and static
