KendoReact: AI-Generated UI

The KendoReact Agentic UI Generator takes MCP-powered development a step further by turning natural language prompts into working React pages. It understands layouts, themes and common UI patterns, so you can describe the page you need and let the Agent pick the right React components, apply layout and styling, bind data and write clean code directly in your project.

What it can do:

• Generate full pages with layout, theming, styling and configured KendoReact components
• Update and refine existing screens with accurate component and prop changes
• Connect multiple components for workflows like Grids, Forms or navigation
• Handle data binding and routing based on your prompt
• Produce code aligned with KendoReact best practices for accessibility and performance

It runs inside your IDE with no workflow changes, helping you build consistent, production-ready UIs faster and with less manual work.

*Available with Telerik DevCraft Complete and Ultimate subscriptions only.
