Tempo

TL;DR

Tempo is a visual IDE that enables designers, PMs, and developers to collaborate on code with the help of AI. In addition to prompting, Tempo gives you the fine-grain control that comes from a traditional design editor or code editor.

In V2, we introduce our Figma Plugin, new AI reasoning + Gemini Search, pre-built SaaS templates (for Stripe, Polar, Supabase, Convex+Clerk), and Expo support for react-native mobile apps. Watch our demo, here.

The problem?

“Low-code” and “design to code” tools suck. As much as they accelerate the development process for simple apps, none have succeeded at helping serious software companies ship production-grade software.

New AI-powered web app builders take a code-first approach that is superior, however, they still struggle with complex apps and large codebases.

How we are solving it

Tempo redefines the development workflow by combining the best of an IDE (like VS Code), a design tool (like Figma), and an AI chat assistant that enhances both—creating a single source of truth for designers and developers. Whether you’re a non-technical builder or a seasoned engineer, Tempo streamlines the process from concept to production.

With V2, Tempo introduces:

🎨 A fine-grain design panel for pixel-perfect control

🖼️ A Figma plugin that converts your designs to code in Tempo

🧠 Enhanced AI reasoning + Gemini Search for faster debugging and development.

⚡ Pre-built SaaS templates for Stripe, Polar, Supabase, Convex + Clerk.

📱 Expo support for mobile app development with react native.

Teams use Tempo to:

• Build production grade applications.
• Rapidly generate and refine prototypes.
• Visually collaborate on production code.
• Ship UIs that are pixel-perfect, every time.

The interface feels like your favourite design tool but works like an IDE. Teams using tempo ship to production 10x faster by adopting a code-first workflow.
