Do websites still need admin panels?

I'm building a couple of apps and I can see admin panels losing their point: 90% of the tasks are already handled by a chat window with an AI assistant.

Do websites still need admin panels?

I'm building a couple of apps, and I can see admin panels losing their point.

Out of habit I still design them just in case, but 90% of the tasks go to a small chat window that does everything for me, quickly and without mistakes.

What does this mean for us in practice?

  1. Clients will need to open the admin panel less and less. Managing the website will move, for example, into a Telegram chat.
  2. The interfaces themselves should stay, because sometimes you need to see all the information at once, interactively and nicely laid out. But controlling those interfaces will move entirely into chats.

That's why I'm working on smart assistants that don't just answer questions, but fill in information on the website in real time and take actions on the user's behalf.

No more figuring out complex interfaces, hunting for the right buttons or training staff. All that's left is to phrase the request and check the result.
