What is Tambo?
Tambo is a React framework designed for developers who want to build truly interactive AI applications. If you're tired of AI agents that just return walls of text, Tambo empowers you to create dynamic user interfaces that intelligently adapt to user context and natural language, all with minimal code. Move beyond static chat bubbles and start building AI experiences that show, not just tell.
Key Features
🤖 Generate Interactive UI Components Instead of plain text, your AI can render fully functional React components in response to user prompts. By registering your own components with a defined schema, you give the AI the ability to intelligently select, configure, and display the right UI for any situation, creating a far more engaging and useful experience.
🔧 Execute Intelligent Tool Calls Allow your AI to interact with the world. You can register custom functions—like API fetches or database queries—as "tools" that the AI can autonomously call. It uses the function's description to understand when to use it, retrieves live data, and then uses that data to populate the UI it generates.
⚡ Stream UI in Real-Time Deliver a seamless user experience with support for streaming every part of the AI-generated UI. Tambo provides helpful hooks that allow you to stream in not just text, but the components themselves, making your application feel incredibly responsive and alive.
🧠 Automate State and History Management Focus on your app's core functionality, not the boilerplate. Tambo automatically manages message history and provides an AI-integrated state hook that tracks user inputs and component states, ensuring context is never lost between interactions.
How Tambo Solves Your Problems:
Imagine these scenarios, made simple with Tambo:
Building a Dynamic Dashboard: A user types, "Show me last quarter's user sign-ups from Germany." Instead of a text summary, your app instantly renders an interactive chart component, populated with the correct data fetched by an AI-triggered tool.
Creating an AI Copilot: Your user asks, "How do I add a new user to my project?" Tambo can respond by generating a pre-filled
AddUserFormcomponent, guiding the user through the exact steps they need to take, right within the interface.Developing a Recipe App: A user says, "Show me a pasta recipe I can make with chicken and tomatoes." Tambo calls a tool to check available ingredients, then generates a beautiful, interactive
RecipeCardcomponent complete with steps, timings, and ingredient amounts.
Unique Advantages: The Tambo Difference
Tambo isn't just another chatbot library; it's a fundamental shift in how you can build AI-native applications.
While traditional AI assistants respond with text, Tambo renders fully interactive React components. This moves your user from being a passive reader to an active participant, directly interacting with AI-generated forms, charts, and controls.
Unlike platforms where you manually code every AI interaction, Tambo allows you to simply provide the building blocks—your components and tools. The AI then intelligently orchestrates them based on natural language, dramatically reducing development time.
Where you'd normally have to wire up state, history, and tool-calling logic yourself, Tambo provides a "batteries-included" framework that handles these complexities out of the box. You get a robust, context-aware system from the start.
Get Started in Minutes
Tambo is built to be powerful yet simple to integrate. With a free starter plan and a self-hostable open-source option, you have a clear path from hobbyist projects to enterprise-scale applications. Elevate your user experience by letting your AI build the interface.
