    Nobody really knows how to product-ize any of these LLM interfaces beyond just chat.

    They don't want a traditional UI with buttons and forms and labels because they want the interface to be "chat". The problem is that "chat" is tedious. And the turn-based, linear nature of the chat interaction model makes it even more tedious and unproductive.

      One thing I would like is a tree-like chat structure like reddit / HN. Many times I abandon the direction things have gone but would like to resume at some ancestor or sibling response.

        I&#x27;m not affiliated, and did not actually try it, but your comment reminded me of the juggler coding agent, discussed here: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=48883305">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=48883305

        &gt;Each conversation is a Yjs CRDT tree. It can branch into sub-threads (recursively), and you can drill down, backtrack, edit, undo&#x2F;redo, and inspect everything: tool calls, approvals, and the raw context JSON going to the model, etc.
