> What the future of interfaces looks like. UI research, 2026, by Rivian Pratama at Lauren's Crib.

Interfaces today are mostly menus and buttons. This project asks what happens when an interface becomes a space you move through and a conversation you live in.

The interface is a spatial layout with a calendar on the left and a chat on the right, and every day gets an isolated conversation. Lica's persona applies motivational interviewing, a counseling method that reads the emotional tone first and uses reflective listening to elicit the user's own answers. The one-question-per-turn rule mirrors Socratic guided discovery, and the greeting prompt changes with the date and the season.

I wanted to see whether Licanote could harness the chatbot as the main user interface.
