Tempo
Prompt-to-React visual editor, now with a $4,500/mo human tier
Overview
Tempo turns prompts, screenshots or Storybook imports into structured, editable React components inside a visual editor — real code you can open in VS Code, not a locked runtime. Built for design/PM/dev teams moving from mockup to production React.

ASEAN Perspective

Tempo's pitch is real code, not a black box: prompt or import a design system, get React components you can drag, restyle and then open straight in VS Code. G2 reviewers (4.4 stars across 120 reviews) back that up, praising the visual editor and the ability to switch between prompting and hand-editing without losing work.
The reviews also converge on where it breaks: authentication flows and anything beyond a fairly simple app tend to trigger correction loops, stuck states, or changes the tool claims to have made but didn't. One early partner, Chorus AI, reported the paid Agent+ tier — human engineers doing the building — cut front-end costs in half and tripled velocity, which says as much about the AI-only tiers' ceiling as it does about the service.
What people say
Backed by Y Combinator (S23) and founded by Peter Gokhshteyn and Kevin Michael — both ex-Microsoft/Google — Tempo started as a straightforwardly-scoped visual editor for React and has since layered on multi-agent planning, so a prompt like 'build a SaaS dashboard with Stripe billing' now produces user-flow diagrams and an architecture outline before any component gets written.
On G2, Tempo carries a 4.4-star average across 120 reviews. The praise is consistent: fast prototyping, real-time collaboration, importing components from Storybook or generating a custom library in minutes, and — repeatedly cited as the differentiator — that the underlying code stays open and editable rather than trapped behind a proprietary runtime.
The complaints cluster around reliability once a project gets past the prototype stage. Reviewers describe broken or incomplete authentication flows, the AI agent getting stuck in repeated correction loops, and — most pointedly — actions that report success without the underlying code actually changing. One reviewer's summary was blunt: flashy for demos, not something to build on professionally once requirements get real. Chorus AI, an early customer using the human-assisted Agent+ tier, reported cutting front-end development costs in half while tripling velocity — a result that reflects the human engineers in that tier as much as the AI agents themselves.
Pricing runs three tiers. Free gives 30 credits a month (capped at 5 a day) with free error fixes, enough for small frontends. Pro is $30/month for 150 credits and full access to the code and reasoning agents, with bonus credit packs (250 credits for $50) for teams that burn through the monthly allotment. Agent+, at $4,500/month, replaces self-serve AI with Tempo's own engineers and designers, who commit to shipping one to three production-ready features a week. That's a wide gap between Pro and Agent+, with nothing in between for teams that have outgrown self-serve but aren't ready for a five-figure annual commitment.
