The article discusses how large language models can now generate user interfaces from natural‑language descriptions, and proposes a framework that turns HCI design knowledge into machine‑readable ‘skills’ that guide on‑demand UI construction. By treating the dialogue between user and AI as a shared cognitive workspace, these skills encode established HCI principles (e.g., Nielsen’s heuristics, WCAG criteria) as editable, version‑controlled artifacts. The authors outline a research agenda that envisions HCI moving from heuristic checklists to a machine‑executable, open‑source craft.

ChatDev 2.0, also called DevAll, is a no-code platform that lets users build, run, and inspect heterogeneous multi‑agent systems (MAS) powered by large language models. It combines a declarative executable graph abstraction with a cycle‑aware execution engine, enabling representation and execution of dynamic, cyclic interactions among diverse agents. The integrated visual interface allows users to author, monitor, and inspect MAS—including human‑in‑the‑loop steps—without writing code, and experiments show it matches state‑of‑the‑art MAS performance across three tasks.

The paper surveys how large language models (LLMs) are integrated into software systems under various labels such as chatbot, copilot, retrieval‑augmented generation (RAG), workflow, coding agent, and AI agent. It identifies seven recurring architectural forms—LLM chats, custom agents, RAG, AI‑enhanced workflows, copilots, coding agents, and agentic RAG—and describes each along four structural dimensions: architectural pattern, execution control, user intervention point, and tool usage. The study uses a corpus of 22 systems from research and vendor documentation to illustrate these forms and their limits.

arXiv:2606. 26627v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Large language model agents increasingly query databases, search document collections, call external APIs, remember past interactions, and act on a user's behalf.

The paper introduces the Human‑AI Interaction Description Language (HAIDL), a formal model that treats human‑AI interactions as durable data objects rather than fleeting prompt‑response exchanges. HAIDL captures detailed context—including computational environment, user requests, prompts, AI responses, feedback, provenance, and model metadata—using a Backus‑Naur Form‑inspired syntax. The authors implement HAIDL in HAIDL‑X, a JupyterLab middleware that records interactions, builds contextual prompts, interfaces with AI providers, and stores data for replay, analysis, and learning about user behavior.
