HTML is All You Need (for Agents to Make Graphics) - Amol Kapoor, Nori
Nori's CEO argues agents fail at graphics because of the medium (SVG), not the model, and HTML/code is the right medium.
“If you ask me, it's not the model, it's the medium.”
Amol Kapoor, CEO of Nori, contends that coding agents can produce visual artifacts like slides, docs, and video if given the right medium (HTML/code) rather than human-oriented canvas tools or raw SVG. He frames agents' apparent inability to reason about space as a medium problem, citing the pelican-on-a-bicycle SVG test. The talk is a practical engineering perspective on extending agents beyond writing code into visual output generation.
