The "AI agents will kill all UIs" narrative is going to get a lot of people rekt. 💀 In crypto, the UI is king, and the agent is the advisor, not the replacement. Agents as the only interface is a deeply flawed idea. Let's break it down. 👇 Yes, telling your AI, "Swap 1 ETH for $LAY" feels like having a personal Wall Street broker from the 80s. It’s a cool trick. But in this ultra financialized space, fulfilling an outcome with a positive ev requires more than that. You're about to make a swap. A simple chat command misses the critical questions a good UI answers instantly: Slippage: Am I about to get rekt by a 20% slippage? Gas Fees: Is this swap going to cost me $0.5 or $50? The Right CA: Am I swapping for the real token on the right chain? You need to SEE this data, not ask for it and hope the AI understands. Now imagine trying to manage your DeFi positions via chat. "Hey agent, how's my Pendle position on Arbitrum doing? What's the current APY, how much have I earned, and what are the top 3 alternative pools I could move to?" By the time you thought about it and typed all that, you could've already, clicked three buttons, and rebalanced the yield. The "fat finger" risk with AI agents is even greater. One typo in a command, or context from previous interaction that get misinterpreted... Stake all instead of stake 100 tokens? Gg. Tapping on a visually confirmed, verified button is a fundamental security layer that a chat box simply cannot replace. Of course you can have agent to verify every input parameter and ask confirmation for each of them, but it would start look like a solutionism rather than a practical product. So what's the play? It's not Agents VS Interfaces. It's Agents + Interfaces. The future is a HYBRID model. The AI is your copilot, not the entire solution. It's embedded intelligence, not a blank text box. Some products pioneering this approach are Zerion and CMC. Tactical buttons are placed across the UI that trigger agent with optimized prewritten prompts. This way takes less time to achieve your intents and still accessible within few clicks. Bottom line: AI agents won't replace clean UX; they will supercharge it. They are an interactive layer for product's dashboard. We're moving from static interfaces to dynamic, intelligent ones. What's your take? Full agent takeover or hybrid future?
