Kokonut UI
Kokonut UI gives React developers source components and templates for AI app interfaces and surrounding screens. Install selected components into a project through the shadcn CLI or an AI coding tool.
Who it's for
- React developers building AI apps who need interface elements such as model selectors, tool-call displays, or AI inputs.
- Frontend teams using Tailwind CSS and shadcn/ui who want ready-to-install components for app screens.
- Product designers and design engineers starting a portfolio or product site from one of the Pro templates.
Not the right fit if…
- Teams building with a frontend framework other than React: the supplied content describes Kokonut UI as a React component library.
How it fits your workflow
Browse the catalog and choose a component from its documentation page. Components have live demos, and the catalog covers AI-specific elements as well as general UI categories.
Add the Kokonut UI registry to components.json, then install a component with the shadcn CLI or ask a connected coding agent to install it. The component is added as source in your project, with its dependencies.
