What v0 does
v0 is Vercel's AI app builder. You describe what you want in a prompt, such as a landing page, dashboard, online store or full-stack app, and its agent writes the code, shows a live preview as it builds, and fixes errors along the way. It uses Next.js, Tailwind and shadcn/ui, can connect to your APIs and databases, and deploys to Vercel in one click or opens a pull request. A visual Design Mode lets you tweak the result without editing code.
Best for
- Developers prototyping React and Next.js interfaces quickly
- Founders building a landing page or simple app from a prompt
- Designers turning Figma files into working pages
- Teams already hosting on Vercel
