Tempo Labs: Unleashing even more AI Wizardry (YCS23)

In the world of software development, time is of the essence. Startups and tech companies constantly seek ways to accelerate their development and prototyping processes while maintaining the highest quality standards.

In comes Tempo Labs, a groundbreaking AI design and prototyping tool, has emerged as the solution to this longstanding challenge.

Meet the Founders:

The Visionary Engineer

Kevin Michael, co-founder of Tempo Labs, is an experienced engineer and product expert. With a successful background as the founding engineer and head of product at Perpetua, a $150 million exit startup, he understands the challenges faced by development teams. Kevin's passion lies in using AI to bridge the gap between design and development, ultimately empowering teams to work 10X faster.

The Agile Product Builder 

Peter Gokhshteyn, co-founder of Tempo Labs, is a skilled software developer with a passion for rapid product development. As a key member of Perpetua's engineering team, he played a vital role in achieving product-market fit. With experience from top-tier companies like Google, Bloomberg, and Zynga, Peter is dedicated to transforming the way teams design and build UIs with Tempo's AI-driven approach.

The Need for Tempo: A Startup's Struggle

Behind Tempo's inception lies a relatable struggle. The team at Tempo Labs once faced a common problem while building their previous startup, Perpetua. They found themselves searching for ways to expedite development and prototyping without compromising on quality. The team tried various low-code tools available in the market, only to be disappointed by their limited integration with their existing codebase. While Figma served as a useful tool for testing concepts, its prototypes felt low-fidelity and took an excessive amount of time to reach production.

The Innovation: AI-Powered React Code Generation

Tempo Labs responded to the challenges faced by the team at Perpetua by developing an AI-driven design and prototyping tool that could integrate seamlessly with any React project. The core focus of Tempo lies in empowering designers to collaborate directly with engineers on the codebase, eliminating the traditional design-to-code translation process that often consumed valuable time and resources.

Leveraging the power of Artificial Intelligence, Tempo can generate an impressive 60%-80% of the front-end code required for any feature!

This revolutionary approach liberates engineers from repetitive and time-consuming CSS tasks, allowing them to concentrate on writing business logic. As a result, development teams using Tempo can speed up their idea-to-production pipeline by an astonishing tenfold, enabling them to ship high-quality UIs in a matter of minutes.
