Overview

Tempo is an AI-powered visual editor for React that enables designers, product managers, and developers to collaborate on code through prompting, visual editing, and code refinement. It supports building production-grade web and mobile apps by generating code from text or images, with options for fine-tuning via a design panel or direct code access. Key differentiators include real-time sync with IDEs, integrations for mobile (Expo) and backend (Supabase), and an Agent+ service for human-assisted feature building.¹⁵³⁷
