These guides walk you through the main tasks in building a Tambo application: setting up a project, registering components for generative UI, building conversation interfaces, providing context to the AI, and connecting external tools.

Each guide is self-contained and focused on a specific goal. If you're starting fresh, begin with project setup and work through generative UI. If you're adding a specific capability to an existing app, jump straight to the relevant section.
