✏️ What does this tool offer in 2026?

• Generative UI SDK: You register a "catalog" of your standard React components (Tables, Charts, Forms). The AI selects and populates them with props dynamically based on the conversation.

• Liquid Interfaces: Users don't "learn" your app; the app adapts to the user. Power users get advanced tools, while beginners get simple summaries, all through the same chat interface.

• Two Component Types:

  • Generative: Renders once (e.g., a summary chart or a static data insight).

  • Interactable: Persistent components (e.g., a spreadsheet or task board) that stay active and update as the user refines their request.

• Streaming UI (Per-Prop): (2026 Feature) Users can see individual component properties (like rows in a table) update in real-time as the data streams from the LLM.

• Smart State Management: Includes the useTamboThread hook, which handles message history, tool calling, and prop-mapping without needing "Redux-level" boilerplate.

• MCP Support: Built-in integration for Model Context Protocol, allowing your UI components to fetch live data from external sources (like Linear, Stripe, or SQL) via the AI.

• Suggestive Actions: The useTamboSuggestions() hook generates clickable prompts for the user based on their current context and page state.

• Tambo Cloud: A hosted backend for those who want a "plug-and-play" experience, though it remains fully compatible with self-hosted infrastructures.

⭐️ What does it offer? (User Experience)

• "The Death of the Menu": Rated 4.7/5 for UX innovation. It solves "feature discovery" issues by surfacing the right tool at the right time.

• Design Consistency: Because it uses your actual React components (Tailwind, shadcn/ui, etc.), the generated UI always matches your brand's look and feel perfectly.

🤖 Automation:

• Zero-Glue Coding: Automatically maps LLM "tool calls" to your UI components, removing the need for manual "if/else" logic to decide what to show the user.

💵 Pricing (January 2026 Status)
