AI agents don't assist. They act. They execute tasks, make decisions, and operate autonomously. Not when prompted. Continuously. But what should the interface look like when the software is the one in control?

Legacy software redesign is not just a visual refresh. It is a strategic modernization effort that protects mission-critical workflows, reduces user friction, and helps enterprise products feel current without sacrificing the depth and power users rely on.

What should UI/UX design actually cost in 2026? The Skins Factory breaks down agency pricing, what drives it up or down, and how to know if you're getting real value.
