In this episode of Co-creating with AI, we discuss the current state of AI and focus on how AI can be integrated into different aspects of our lives, especially when it comes to repetitive knowledge work. We explore the idea of AI-native applications, highlighting how the development of AI-centric user interfaces and experiences can revolutionize the way humans work and co-create with AI.

We begin by identifying the capability of AI models, such as language models, which have made it possible to automate repetitive knowledge work. We emphasize that these AI models are more than just assistants, but rather work with humans in organizing and creating knowledge. We also touch upon how some interfaces, such as Adobe Firefly, have started to implement AI in their specialized tools.

By considering the state of AI as an assistant, we ponder how it can be optimized for co-creation between humans and AI. We conclude that to do this, AI must be part of an interface that is both adaptable and suited for organizing and creating content. Our discussion leads us to introduce and explore the concept of AI-native applications, and how rethinking UI and UX for this new world of AI could lead to new collaborative designs and use cases.
