Really like the idea of having a single place that shows me the throughline of work across different platforms

The Library of Babel contains every possible page of 3200 characters that could ever be written. Every book, every sentence, every truth and every lie, all already exist somewhere in the library. Your life story is somewhere in there.

You can search for occurrences of specific strings, which I did to find this page (ctrl+f "hackernews"): https://libraryofbabel.info/bookmark.cgi?omrcw_befyz107

It's that plus the hosted service which interacts with the LLM, stores threads, handles auth, gives observability of interactions in your app, etc.

With this you build your own React components and register them with the AI. The AI chooses which to use and what props to pass into them, so it's not generating UI from scratch, if that's what you mean - other Michael from the Tambo team

under the hood messages are sent to Tambo which knows how to use the timeline component (sort of like an LLM tool) and can fill the component's props with whatever data it decides. The actual data at this point is completely generated by the LLM (which seems to be ok for historical data on popular topics.) I should add a tool to allow tambo to fetch data from wikipedia before trying to generate timeline data.

Comparing timelines is an awesome idea, understanding when certain events happened in relation to others is really interesting. Maybe even overlaid in different colors or something instead of separate timelines.

Here's the repo btw: https://github.com/MichaelMilstead/timeline-of-everything

Very interested in the idea of an AI being able to interact with my filesystem.

we experimented with something like this: https://local-note-taker.vercel.app/chat

repo in case you'd rather run it locally: https://github.com/tambo-ai/local-note-taker

Curious to compare how our two ideas are built differently, feel free to reach out (email in my profile)

very cool. Made something with a similar idea, but using timelines instead of maps. I wonder if the two could be combined in some way https://timeline-of-everything.milst.dev/

Very cool. Are the posts I see random from all stored, or are they the latest posts or something?

This is awesome. I worked on a 'conversational historical timeline generator' a little bit ago: https://timeline-of-everything.milst.dev/

I wonder if something similar could be added here where I say something like "what's the most important descendant of x" and it would bring me to that tech and give me a little explanation of why

Show HN: Tambo – a tool for building generative UI React apps with tools/MCP

milst — Fri, 01 Aug 2025 18:41:05 +0000

Hey!

We're working on a React SDK + API to make it simple to build apps with natural language interfaces, where AI can interact with the components on screen on behalf of the user.

The basic setup is: Register your react components, tools, and MCP servers, and a way for users to send messages to Tambo, and let Tambo respond with text or components, calling tools when needed.

Use it to build chat apps, copilots, or completely custom AI UX.

The goal is to provide simple interfaces for common AI app features so we don't have to build them from scratch. Things like: - thread storage/management - streaming props into generated components - MCP and custom tool integration - passing component state to AI

plus some pre-built UI components to get started.

Would love feedback or contributions!

True, and it says that almost every time... I'll do some prompting to stop that
