I've been playing around with Google Apps Script lately, and I thought I'd share a small class I wrote to make building user interfaces with the UI Service a little more pleasant. With this library, you can specify an interface through a simple declarative JSON syntax, rather then a lot of chained function calls (or the GUI builder). It also includes some helpers to reduce the amount of code needed to build forms.
While you can also create a UI with Google's recently released Html Service, the UI Service has the nice properties of sharing a common design with Google Docs and working smoothly across all of the browsers Docs supports. UiBot works with all of the ui elements supported by the UI Service.

Here's a snippet of UiBot code:
A very informative article.
