Integrating Generative AI and GenUI in Flutter Apps
The mobile app landscape is undergoing a paradigm shift. For years, development has been defined by static layouts, pre-designed screens where every button, list, and transition is hard-coded. However, the rise of Large Language Models (LLMs) and Generative AI (GenAI) is introducing a new concept: Generative User Interfaces (GenUI) . In this deep dive, we will explore how Flutter, Google’s versatile UI toolkit, is uniquely positioned to lead this revolution. We’ll examine the technical architecture of GenUI, how to integrate it into your Flutter workflow. 1. What is GenUI? (The Shift from Static to Fluid) Traditional UI development follows a "Deterministic" model. A developer writes code for a specific screen, and that screen looks the same for every user unless manually updated. GenUI (Generative User Interface) is "Probabilistic." Instead of shipping a fixed set of screens, you ship a Component Catalog and a set of rules. The AI agent determines, in real-time...
