## What it is
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
