We’re excited to announce our partnership with UPDIVISION and Creative Tim, aimed at giving developers a faster, more efficient way to build real-time web and mobile apps. UPDIVISION, a leader in product development and UX design, designed and built the UI components, making them intuitive and flexible for customization. Creative Tim, known for their premium Bootstrap, React, Angular, and Vue.js templates, adds aesthetic and structural elements to the package, ensuring these tools are visually cohesive and easy to implement. Combined with PubNub’s real-time APIs, this partnership delivers ready-to-use UI tools that save you time and streamline your workflow with pre-wired components tailored for real-time interactivity.

Kicking Off with Chat, with More Tools on the Way

We’re starting with a fully functional, pre-wired Chat UI tool to make real-time messaging easy to integrate into any app. But this is just the beginning: additional tools are on the horizon, including UI components for Dispatch & Location Tracking, Trading, and Smart Home applications. All these tools are built with developers in mind—easy to set up, customizable for your brand, and ready to plug into your projects with minimal configuration.

Why This Partnership Matters for Developers

Built on Tailwind CSS components, each tool integrates seamlessly with PubNub’s robust real-time infrastructure, allowing developers to skip the heavy lifting and focus on customizations and core functionality. Jonas Gray, VP of Business & Corporate Development at PubNub, noted, “Our partnership with UPDIVISION and Creative Tim is all about accelerating development. By offering developers pre-wired tools like Chat, and soon with additional interfaces, we’re making it faster and easier to create engaging, interactive experiences.”

Pre-Wired UI Tools Ready for Real-Time Use Cases

The suite of pre-wired tools is versatile, addressing a variety of real-time use cases, and fully customizable to fit any app’s design:

  • Chat – Real-time messaging that’s quick to integrate.

  • Dispatch & Location Tracking – Components for logistics and service-based applications.

  • Trading – Real-time trading interfaces with live market data.

  • Smart Home – Control panels for managing connected devices in real time.

The new UI tools are also pre-wired with Hugging Face, the leading open-source and open-science platform that helps users build, deploy, and train machine learning (ML) models. This integration allows developers to easily incorporate AI-driven conversational chatbot capabilities, enhancing user engagement and support. Whether answering FAQs, managing customer inquiries, or adding a conversational layer to app workflows, Hugging Face brings another layer of intelligence to these fully-coded UI tools.
