ANZ 2026

Let's have fun with AI UI in BC
The AI conversation is focused on increased productivity and throughput, but what AI is really good at is ideation and visual layout.
These days we can build beautiful single page web applications from a simple AI prompt, without being a full-stack web developer. And you can have any colours you want, drag-and-drop, perfectly positioned buttons, Gannt charts, or just a different ways of visualising relationships.
But how do we get this into BC, connected to BC data?
This session will be for technical people who want to see the steps and non-technical people who would like to see the art-of-the-possible within the BC UI, especially those who favour visuals over words.
At a high-level I will take you through:
• Building a responsive single page application (SPA) using AI (and React).
• Extracting that to your VS Code project
• Setting up Vite to compile your app for embedding to a BC Control Add-in
• Two-way communication between BC and your application
