Learn the principles and practices for building next-generation applications powered by AI and structured for context protocols like MCP.
The Blueprint for User Experience is Being Redrawn
The standard application architecture, focused on direct manipulation and predefined flows, is becoming insufficient. Users, increasingly interacting with AI, will expect digital experiences that are adaptive, context-aware, and deeply personalized. The user interaction model is completely changing from form inputs, buttons, and links to a single input, voice, video, and generated UI for specific use cases on-demand.
The future belongs to applications architected for intelligent interaction and integration with every other service used by our users.
Developers equipped with the principles to design and structure these AI-powered experiences will be leading the way. It's not just about plugging in an AI API; it's about fundamentally rethinking how applications are designed, how data flows, and how services expose their capabilities to intelligent agents in way that's, secure, useful, and completely custom for each user.
We're starting to see shadows of this right now, but things are really going to explode when these LLM applications improve the user experience of this new interaction model and wire that up with the applications that we build. And your users will be rushing to any service that can help them accomplish their tasks with this new interaction model.
Structure Intelligent Interactions with the Model Context Protocol
How do we architect applications so AI can reliably understand and interact with them to create these seamless experiences? The foundation lies in standardized communication. You don't need to build every piece of the intelligence (the big players are already working on that right now), but you do need to structure how your application presents its capabilities to enable those clients to do useful things with your technology.
Enter the Model Context Protocol (MCP). This emerging standard provides the architectural framework for defining how LLMs and other AI agents can discover, understand, and utilize your application's services reliably.
MCP is a key part of the structural design for the next generation of apps. Implementing an MCP server provides the necessary interface, the well-defined contract, that allows AI to integrate deeply and predictably, enabling truly intelligent, multi-faceted user experiences built upon your application's core strengths.
with Kent C. Dodds
Hey, I'm Kent C. Dodds. Application development is entering a new architectural era. We're moving beyond crafting interfaces to designing intelligent experiences – systems that understand user context, anticipate needs, and interact fluidly through AI. This requires a new way of thinking, structuring our applications, and integrating capabilities. EpicAI.pro is where you'll master the blueprints for building these sophisticated, AI-driven user experiences.
