For years, digital experiences have revolved around websites, mobile apps, and email. But a fundamental shift is underway: AI is no longer just a tool; it’s rapidly becoming a primary channel and interface for user engagement.

In our latest Insight by ARKE article “Preparing for AI as a Channel and an Interface,” from Arke CTO, Patrick Perrone, we dive deep into how this transformation is redefining digital strategy:

• The AI-Augmented Web: Discover how generative AI is turning traditional Browse into dynamic, AI-led conversations, where users actively shape their online experience.

• The Rise of Generative UI: See how AI is enabling just-in-time interfaces and situational generation, creating adaptive experiences tailored to user intent, context, and history.
• AI and Behavioral Telemetry: Uncover how user behavior itself is becoming an interface signal, allowing AI systems to interpret non-verbal cues and adapt responses in real time.
