Conversational user interface: how AI makes software more personal
The way people interact with software has fundamentally changed over the past decades. From command lines to graphical interfaces filled with buttons, dropdowns, and forms. Ever more intuitive, ever more visual. But the next step is different in nature. Software is becoming something you talk to. A conversational user interface, or CUI, uses natural language as its main form of interaction. And since the breakthrough of modern AI, this is no longer an experiment, but a production-ready way of working.
In this article, we explain what a conversational user interface is, why it’s the future, and how we use them together with our clients in custom software.
What will custom software cost in 2026?
Having custom software developed is a strategic investment that can significantly boost your company's efficiency and competitiveness. Pricing and rates depend on several factors, such as the complexity of the project, the technologies used, and the experience of the development team.
The question is similar to: what does a car, a house, or a renovation cost? That question can really only be answered once it's clear what the minimum requirements for the end result are.
Why the Modern Monolith with the TALL stack beats microservices
In recent years, the term ‘microservices’ has become almost synonymous with ‘scalability’. Many companies assume that a complex, distributed architecture with a decoupled frontend is the only way forward. At Dolphiq, however, we see a different reality: the Modern Monolith with the Laravel TALL stack is a better alternative for the vast majority of software products. Not out of nostalgia, but from a pragmatic focus on cost, speed, and manageability. The Laravel TALL stack offers exactly the balance most projects need: powerful enough for complex applications, simple enough to build quickly and keep well-maintained.
