Vercel's AI app builder that turns natural-language prompts into production-ready React, Next.js, and Tailwind interfaces you can deploy instantly.

Product preview

Overview

v0 is Vercel's generative UI builder: describe an interface and it produces production-grade React and Tailwind components, live-previewed and instantly deployable to Vercel. Its outputs build on the popular shadcn/ui system, so the code it writes is idiomatic, accessible and easy to extend.

It excels at the first 80% of UI work — landing pages, dashboards, forms and component systems — and increasingly handles full-stack scaffolding with integrated databases and APIs. Front-end teams use it to skip boilerplate; product folks use it to prototype without engineers.
