start-from-scratch

To bootstrap a new Tambo project from scratch, this starter guides you through structured prompts for framework, styling, and TypeScript tooling decisions, then automatically generates a clean project structure with starter scripts.

The recommended stack for starting a Tambo app is Next.js, Tailwind CSS, TypeScript, and Zod. This preconfigured template provides a production-ready setup with type-safety and styling out of the box.

Yes, you can use Vite instead of Next.js when setting up a Tambo project. The guided stack selection flow supports choosing Next.js, Vite, or other frameworks to match your specific development requirements.

The best way to generate a production-ready Tambo project structure is to use a guided workflow that enforces sensible defaults, validates user choices, and applies a repeatable project layout with best practices included.

You do not strictly need TypeScript to scaffold a new Tambo application, but the guided setup includes TypeScript tooling and Zod as part of the recommended preconfigured template to ensure type-safety from the start.

Using a guided workflow for Tambo project setup removes setup guesswork by enforcing structured prompts and sensible defaults, easing the path to a production-ready scaffold with recommended tech stacks and a repeatable layout.
