Tambo
Tambo is an open-source generative UI toolkit for React that connects existing components to AI agents.
Tambo is an open-source generative UI toolkit designed to add conversational agents to React applications. It acts as a layer between React and large language models, handling streaming, state management, and the Model Context Protocol. Developers register existing components once, and the agent renders the UI with the correct props based on user prompts. The toolkit handles error states, cancellation, message threads, and authentication permissions. It is built for product engineers looking to add generative UI capabilities to their apps using their own design systems and schemas.
