Everyone in AI is building the wrong thing for the same reason

> Every AI product is converging on the same interface: a chat box. Maybe a chat box with some tool use. Maybe a chat box with some RAG. But at bottom, a text input and a text output, differentiated by branding and minor UX choices and which model is running underneath. The chat box won because it ships fast, and Moloch rewards speed over design. Building a novel interaction paradigm takes months or years of research, iteration, user testing.

Any good examples of AI systems that do not use a chat box as primary input mechanism?
