Show HN: Tambo – a tool for building generative UI React apps with tools/MCP

2 milst 0 8/1/2025, 6:41:05 PM github.com ↗

Hey!

We're working on a React SDK + API to make it simple to build apps with natural language interfaces, where AI can interact with the components on screen on behalf of the user.

The basic setup is: Register your react components, tools, and MCP servers, and a way for users to send messages to Tambo, and let Tambo respond with text or components, calling tools when needed.

Use it to build chat apps, copilots, or completely custom AI UX.

The goal is to provide simple interfaces for common AI app features so we don't have to build them from scratch. Things like: - thread storage/management - streaming props into generated components - MCP and custom tool integration - passing component state to AI

plus some pre-built UI components to get started.

Would love feedback or contributions!
