V0

v0 is Vercel's generative UI and full-stack app builder. You describe what you want in plain language — or drop in a screenshot, Figma frame, or image — and v0 generates working React and Next.js code styled with Tailwind and shadcn/ui, rendered in a live preview you can iterate on through chat.

It is aimed at developers and product teams who want to go from idea to a working, deployable interface fast, without hand-writing boilerplate. Because the output is real, idiomatic Next.js code rather than a closed format, you can copy it into your own repo or take it all the way to production from inside v0.

Highlights

• Chat to app — describe a UI or feature and v0 plans, scaffolds, and edits a real Next.js project across files, refining over multiple turns.
• Image and design input — paste a screenshot, mockup, or Figma frame and v0 reproduces the layout as working components.
• shadcn/ui by default — generated code uses Tailwind and shadcn/ui primitives, so the output drops cleanly into existing shadcn projects.
• Full-stack, not just frontend — agentic by default, it can add API Routes, Server Actions, and connect a database (e.g. Supabase) for real CRUD.
• Deploy and sync — one-click deploy to Vercel, GitHub sync to push generated code to a repo, plus a built-in code editor and visual design mode.
• Multiple models — pick from v0's Mini, Pro, Max, and Max Fast models per generation to trade off speed against quality.

In an AI-assisted workflow

v0 fits at the start of a feature, where turning a vague idea or a design into a first working version is the slow part. A common loop is to prompt for a screen, refine it in chat, then sync to GitHub and pull it into your editor for final integration:

Build a settings page with a sidebar, tabbed sections for Profile,
Billing, and Notifications, and a save bar that appears on edit.
Use shadcn components and match the attached screenshot.

Good to know

v0 is available in the browser and via an iOS app. Pricing is freemium: the Free plan includes $5 of monthly credits with a 7-messages-per-day limit, plus deploys, visual editing, and GitHub sync; Team ($30/user/mo) adds collaboration, shared credits, and centralized billing; Business ($100/user/mo) keeps the same per-user credits but adds training opt-out by default for data privacy; Enterprise (custom) adds SAML SSO, role-based access control, priority access, and SLAs. Since May 2025, v0 has metered usage with token-based, model-priced credits, so cost per generation varies with the model chosen and the complexity of the request. It is a hosted Vercel product, not open source, and is most at home in the Next.js and Vercel ecosystem.
