The Co-Pilot Era

In 2026, AI is not just generating images; it's generating Interfaces. Generative UI (GenUI) is the biggest trend. Websites that adapt their layout based on who is looking at them.

Top AI Trends

  1. Dynamic Personalization:

    • A returning customer sees a "Reorder" dashboard.
    • A new visitor sees a "Welcome" video.
    • The layout changes, not just the text.
  2. Chat-First Navigation:

    • Search bars are being replaced by AI Agents.
    • "Show me red shoes under ₹2000" -> AI builds a custom product page instantly.
  3. Automated Accessibility:

    • AI automatically generates Alt Text and fixes color contrast in real-time.

Will Designers Disappear?

No. AI is the Hands, Human is the Brain/Heart. clients still need Strategy, Empathy, and Brand Voice. AI cannot "feel" a brand.
