What Tambo is
Tambo is a layer between React and language models. An agent can render your existing components with your styling and logic rather than generating detached UI, and it inherits the permissions of the current user so AI features stay inside your access model.
It is open source and can be added to an app in minutes using a provider component.
What you can do with it
- Let an agent render real components
- Ship AI features without rebuilding UI
- Keep agent output within user permissions
- Start from a template project
Who it is for
- Product engineers building AI features in React
- Teams wanting generative UI with their own design system
What to watch out for
- An agent rendering components still needs guardrails on what it may do
- Permission inheritance is only as good as your own access model
- Generated content inside your UI needs review and moderation where it can be public
- Confirm current pricing and plan limits
Pros & cons
