Claude Dispatch and the Power of Interfaces

Chat interfaces waste AI's true capability—agentic, purpose-built tools like Claude Code and Dispatch extract vastly more value, signaling a future where AI generates custom interfaces dynamically rather than defaulting to static chatbots.

Ethan Mollick argues the "capability overhang" in AI is largely an interface problem — chatbots impose cognitive overhead that cancels productivity gains, especially for less experienced users.

The piece predicts AI will increasingly generate custom interfaces on the fly rather than relying on one-size-fits-all chat windows.
