The Malleable Workbench: How greentfrapp/panel Lets AI Agents Build Their Own UI

Lim Swee Kiat's open-source project Panel gives AI assistants full authority over dockable research workspaces through a typed Module Protocol and a Data Abstraction Layer that bridges local files with memory URIs, letting agents dynamically fabricate custom visualizers and run structured research workflows alongside human operators. The project redefines human-agent collaboration by making the interface itself agent-malleable.
