Might sound like a rube here, but: is agentic development really this good at novel UIs? The video shows a sort of cassette tape music player, and a fancy looking audio visualizer/equalizer thing. I'm well aware agents are very good at boilerplate UIs, but I wouldn't expect them to be able to one-shot novel, dynamic UI elements like this. I've had Claude attempt some SVG animations and the results were very crude. That was a year or so ago though. Are there established ways of letting agents iterate on UIs, i.e. having them visually verify the visual design and interactions?

Hooooo, boy, if you haven't used Opus 4.5/4.6, do yourself a favor and check it out. It's pretty good.

My experience has been that Opus consistently generates UIs that are genuinely good. As always with anecdata, YMMV.

There's a reason Tailwind Plus has revenue problems right now.
