Ask HN: What are good AI UIs now?
The article discusses the evolution of user interfaces for AI, highlighting the ease of creating chat boxes with frameworks like Streamlit. It mentions the rise of terminal user interface (TUI) tools but suggests that they may not be the ultimate solution. The piece concludes by inviting thoughts on innovative products or projects that are reimagining human-AI interaction.
- ▪Streamlit allows developers to create chat boxes with just five lines of Python code.
- ▪There is a growing interest in terminal user interface tools like Claude Code and Codex.
- ▪Wrapper GUIs such as T3 Code are emerging to provide structure to terminal tools.

Opening excerpt (first ~120 words) tap to expand
With frameworks like Streamlit, it takes five lines of Python to wrap an LLM in a chat box.Alternatively, we've seen a surge in TUI tools (Claude Code, Codex, etc.). But living in a terminal doesn't feel like the final destination. Now, we are seeing wrapper GUIs like T3 Code to give those terminal tools structure.What products or projects (if any) are rethinking human-AI interaction?
