    Ed Charbeneau delves into the practical integration of AI-powered Smart UI components by leveraging large language models (LLMs), particularly moving beyond the prevalent Generative AI chat demos that often overshadow such applications. He illustrates the gradual enhancement of user interfaces (UIs) through LLMs with real-world examples like Smart AI Search and Smart Text, which improve user interactions by adding contextual and relational features to existing functionalities. Utilizing LLMs, Charbeneau demonstrates transforming user queries into actionable commands for UIs, employing natural language processing to bridge the gap between human language and software interfaces, thereby enhancing user experience while maintaining familiar UI elements.
