Tempo builds React web apps. Bilt builds React Native mobile apps
Tempo generates React web applications visually. But React web components don't run natively on phones. Bilt generates React Native apps — same ecosystem, native output.
The mobile gap

“We were doing the whole design-to-code pipeline manually. Bilt just... skips the middleman. Prompt goes in, native app comes out. It's genuinely weird how much faster everything moves now.”
