Tempo
AI-powered visual editor for React — design-tool UX with an IDE under the hood.
About
Tempo, from Tempo Labs (YC S23), is a visual editor for React that lets PMs, designers, and engineers collaborate directly on code. It looks like a design tool but functions like an IDE: drag-and-drop editing of layouts and styles, AI code generation from text or image prompts, Storybook component import, and full code export to GitHub. It won Product Hunt's #1 Product of the Day on launch.
The honest picture: Product Hunt reviews (4.2/10 reviews) praise the speed when it works but flag reliability issues — the AI occasionally claims to make changes without updating code, gets stuck in loops, and struggles with auth setup. Pricing is Pro at $30/month with a $4,500/month Agent+ tier for human-assisted builds. React-only; Next.js 15+ support was still pending as of mid-2025.
