We are building the most advanced AI models in the world, only to force users to interact with them through a blinking text box.
Chat is great for answering simple questions, but it is terrible for complex workflows. If you ask an AI agent for a quarterly sales analysis, you don’t want a wall of text. You want an interactive chart, a filterable data table, and actionable buttons.
But building those dynamic, context-aware interfaces traditionally requires frontend teams to hand-code every possible screen and state.
Thesys is breaking AI out of the chat bubble.
Founded by Rabi Shanker Guha (ex-Google, DevRev) and Parikshit Deshmukh, Thesys is building the frontend infrastructure for the generative AI era.
They are pioneering “Generative UI”. With their C1 API, an LLM doesn’t just return markdown text — it returns production-ready, interactive UI components in real-time. If the context shifts or the user’s intent changes, the interface literally redesigns and adapts itself on the fly.
It transforms a static “conversation” into a dynamic, personalized “application”.
The market? Every AI-native startup and enterprise that realizes “text-only” interfaces are a bottleneck for user engagement.
Rabi and Parikshit saw that while backend AI logic was evolving exponentially, the presentation layer was stuck in the past. They are giving AI the ability to not just compute answers, but to dynamically build the tools needed to act on them.
Let’s celebrate the builders.
