KendoReact Agentic UI Generator OverviewPremium
The Agentic UI Generator is an intelligent, prompt-driven AI development assistant that accelerates the creation and styling of modern web applications using KendoReact. It integrates seamlessly with AI-powered IDEs to deliver complete, production-ready user interfaces through natural language prompts.
What Is the Agentic UI Generator
At its core, the Agentic UI Generator integrates five specialized tools:
- UI Generator
- Layout Assistant
- Component Assistant
- Style Assistant
- Icon Assistant
The tools are working together in an agentic flow to deliver complete, beautiful, on-brand and enterprise-ready UIs. The main generator coordinates these tools to handle component generation, styling, theming, and design system integration seamlessly.
How It Works
The Agentic UI Generator is a remote Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that seamlessly integrates with your AI-powered MCP client. When you provide a natural language prompt, the MCP server analyzes your requirements and automatically organizes the appropriate specialized tools in the optimal sequence.
By organizing multiple MCP tools, the Agentic UI Generator coordinates layout generation, component implementation, styling, and icon integration tailored to your request. This intelligent workflow ensures all aspects of your UI are properly integrated in the application.
For more granular control, you can also call individual tools directly. See the Target the Tools (Advanced) section for more details.
Intended Use
The Agentic UI Generator is designed to help with various development scenarios:
Create Individual Components
Build specific KendoReact components with particular configurations and features like filtering, validation, and data binding.
#kendo_ui_generator Create a DropDownList component with filtering and the option to add new items.
Create Full Responsive Pages
- Build complete dashboards, landing pages, and listing pages in existing applications.
- Generate pages similar to the Progress Design System page templates.
#kendo_ui_generator I have created an empty application that now needs a login screen and an admin dashboard. Create a new PoC.
Modify Existing Pages
- Enhance existing dashboards by adding new sections.
- Insert new sections that match existing layout style and responsiveness.
#kendo_ui_generator Insert a new section in the middle of an existing page. In that added section, a Dashboard Card displays summary KPIs (revenue, active users, growth rate), next to a Compact Card showing a recent alert or message.
Create and Modify Themes
- Generate new themes inside existing applications. Add dark mode or high-contrast themes.
#kendo_ui_generator Generate a complete dark theme for my app based on a prompt so my UI looks on-brand in dark mode as well.
Implement Responsive Layout
- Create new responsive pages and sections.
- Convert existing pages to be responsive for mobile and tablet views.
#kendo_ui_generator Update the existing page layout to make it responsive.
For specific examples of these use cases, see the Sample Prompts section.
Sample Prompts
The Agentic UI Generator works with a wide variety of prompts for different UI creation scenarios. For example:
#kendo_ui_generator Create a settings page with a form containing text inputs for user profile information (name, email, password) and a toggle switch for email notifications. Add save and cancel buttons at the bottom.
For a comprehensive collection of sample prompts covering general UI tasks, layout organization, component implementation, styling, and icon selection, see the Agentic UI Generator Prompt Library.
Recommendations
To get the best results from the Agentic UI Generator:
Provide Clear Context
- Be specific about your requirements and desired layout structure.
- Mention any existing components or styles you want to match.
- Attach the files you want to modify as context to your prompt so the tool can understand your existing code structure.
- Specify responsiveness requirements for different screen sizes.
- Reference existing design patterns when applicable (e.g., "similar to the automotive industry template").
Best Practices
- To prevent conflicts when the AI model determines which tool to call, avoid enabling too many MCP tools simultaneously in your IDE. In case of issues when both the KendoReact AI Coding Assistant and the Agentic UI Generator are enabled, disable one of the tools.
- Keep your React project structure organized and follow naming conventions.
- Start with simpler prompts and gradually add complexity.
- Use
#kendo_ui_generatorfor complete features to ensure proper coordination between the tools. - Use the advanced tool handles when you need precise control over specific aspects.
- Leverage existing Progress Design System patterns for consistency.
