Tempo

Tempo is an integrated development environment that generates specs, designs, and pull requests from codebases by coordinating specialized AI agents.

Tempo serves as an integrated development environment that connects team communication with existing codebases. It utilizes specialized AI agents—including Triage, Spec and Design, Bug Fixer, and Feature Builder—to process feedback and automate coding tasks. Users manage these agents to create pull requests, generate clickable prototypes, and track CI status directly within the interface. The platform supports development on various models, including Claude Code and Codex. It allows engineers, designers, and product managers to work across multiple branches simultaneously. By treating canvases as code, the system ensures that designs remain synced with real components and tokens.
