Generative UI is what makes Tambo different from a plain chatbot. Instead of returning only text, Tambo can render your own React components with AI-generated props -- charts, cards, forms, or anything else you build.

There are two ways to use generative UI. You can register components that Tambo creates from scratch in conversation, or you can register interactables -- components already on the page that users can modify through natural language.
