under the hood messages are sent to Tambo which knows how to use the timeline component (sort of like an LLM tool) and can fill the component's props with whatever data it decides. The actual data at this point is completely generated by the LLM (which seems to be ok for historical data on popular topics.) I should add a tool to allow tambo to fetch data from wikipedia before trying to generate timeline data.

Comparing timelines is an awesome idea, understanding when certain events happened in relation to others is really interesting. Maybe even overlaid in different colors or something instead of separate timelines.

Here's the repo btw: https://github.com/MichaelMilstead/timeline-of-everything
