Generative UI with Flutter

Dive into the exciting frontier of Generative UI, where AI-driven interfaces adapt and respond dynamically to user interactions and contextual cues. In this session, we’ll explore the principles and practical applications of Generative UI, focusing on how tools like the Google Generative AI SDK can be used within Flutter to craft widget responses, to improve the interaction of LLM outside of a chat interface.

You’ll discover the nuances between generative UI and AI-assisted code generation. Through real-world examples, we’ll demonstrate structured responses, for creation of dynamic APIs using LLMs, and the orchestration of tools using function calling, including widget response, dynamic APIs using JSON responses, and dynamic widget generation using custom widget schemas.

By the end of the session, you’ll be equipped with actionable insights into best practices for integrating LLM structured responses and function calling elements into production applications, as well as strategies to optimize performance and enhance user experience in this next evolution of UI design.
