Tempo Labs

Tempo Labs (tempo.new) is a YC-backed platform that defines itself as a new category of tool: an AI-native, visual Integrated Development Environment (IDE) built specifically for React development. Its core mission is to bridge the gap between design and engineering, aspiring to do "for code what Figma did for design". This positions it as a collaborative workspace where designers, product managers, and engineers can work in a unified, intuitive environment. Unlike traditional text-based IDEs, Tempo is visual-first. It allows designers to directly tweak live React components, while product managers can generate feature requirements from simple descriptions. This directly supports a "vibe coding" workflow, but one that is structured and collaborative.
