Tambo is an open-source generative UI SDK for React that lets developers register components with Zod schemas so an AI agent can choose and render them in response to user messages. It includes a React SDK, a built-in agent loop with streaming and conversation state, MCP support, and options to self-host the backend or use Tambo Cloud.

Use cases

• build a chatbot that renders custom React components
• add generative UI to an existing React app
• let an AI agent render charts and dashboards from natural language
• stream LLM-generated props into React components
• connect an AI assistant to databases and APIs via MCP
• build an AI assistant that inherits user auth permissions
• create a fullstack AI chat app without an agent framework

When to choose

• you want AI-driven dynamic UI rendering in React with your own design system
• you need a batteries-included agent with streaming, threads, and state management
• you want MCP support and self-hosting or a managed cloud option
• you prefer registering typed components with Zod schemas over prompt-based UI generation

When to avoid

• your app is not React-based
• you only need plain text chat without dynamic component rendering
• you need a framework-agnostic backend agent with no React frontend
• you require fine-grained control over the agent loop that a lower-level LLM SDK provides
