## What is Tambo?

Tambo is a React toolkit for building agents that render UI (also known as generative UI).

Register your components with Zod schemas. The agent picks the right one and streams the props so users can interact with them. "Show me sales by region" renders your `<Chart>`. "Add a task" updates your `<TaskBoard>`.
