What is v0?

v0 is an AI app builder from Vercel that generates web interfaces and applications from text prompts, screenshots or design ideas. It produces React code, commonly using Next.js, Tailwind CSS and shadcn/ui components, and shows a live preview you can refine through chat. v0 is well suited to front-end developers, designers and product teams who want production-style UI code rather than a mockup. Its main difference is how closely it fits the Vercel and Next.js ecosystem: generated projects follow common modern React conventions, can be deployed to Vercel directly, and can be connected to a GitHub repository so the code continues to live in a normal development workflow.
