About The UI Strikes Back
A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away... developers struggled with static UIs that couldn't adapt to their users. But a new hope has emerged! The UI Strikes Back is a galactic online hackathon that brings together developers, builders, and innovators from across the universe. Harness the power of Tambo's Generative UI SDK to build React applications where the AI decides which components to render based on natural language conversations. Whether you're a Jedi Master of code or a Padawan just beginning your journey, this hackathon is your chance to join the Rebel Alliance of innovative developers building the future of user interfaces.
Awaken Your UI Powers
Join the rebellion against static interfaces
In a galaxy of static interfaces, users are forced to learn complex applications and navigate through endless workflows. But the Force has awakened in the form of Generative UI!
With Tambo, you can build React apps that dynamically adapt to your users. The AI decides which components to render based on natural language - like having a protocol droid that understands over six million forms of user intent.
Whether you're a seasoned Jedi or a young Padawan, this hackathon gives you the power to build interfaces that truly respond to user needs.
Build Anything
No limits on your creativity
Create any project you want - chat interfaces, dashboards, AI assistants, or tools. The more Tambo features you use, the stronger your Force becomes.
