tambo

An AI orchestration framework for React. Open-source.

Overview

What it is

Tambo is the interface layer between AI and React, giving AI the ability to generate and interact with your components, including charts, forms, dashboards, and workflows. It's open-source, used by developers, startups, and Fortune 1000 companies.

Intent

I need it when

Deploy AI chatbots quickly without heavy framework overhead

Tambo is a lightweight open-source toolkit that drops into React apps in minutes. It includes built-in agent, streaming, state management, error handling, and authentication—eliminating the need for external frameworks or complex setup.

Build generative UI that responds to natural language with interactive components

Tambo's agent interprets user requests like 'Show me sales by region' and renders appropriate registered components (e.g., Chart) with streamed props. Users interact with real UI instead of text, enabling data visualization, task boards, and dashboards that update based on conversation.

Scale AI features from prototype to production with usage-based pricing

Tambo offers free tier for prototyping (10K messages/month), growth tier at $25/month (200K messages with pay-per-overage), and enterprise contracts. This allows teams to start free and scale costs with usage, supporting development through production deployment.

Integrate AI agents with databases and external APIs securely

Tambo supports Model Context Protocol (MCP) to connect agents to databases, APIs, and external systems. The agent inherits user permissions, keeping AI features secure while enabling actions like database queries and API calls within the agent's capabilities.

Add AI agents to React apps without rebuilding UI components

Tambo lets developers register existing React components once, then the agent renders them dynamically based on user messages. This eliminates rebuilding UI for AI features—developers ship AI capabilities using their existing design system and component library.

Drop

Not a fit when

  • Building non-React applications or frameworks other than React
  • Projects requiring no AI/agent capabilities or traditional static UI only
  • Organizations needing on-premise deployment without self-hosting infrastructure expertise
  • Teams without existing component libraries or design systems to register with Tambo
  • Applications requiring real-time collaborative editing without message-based interactions
