#What is v0?

v0 is a freemium, AI-powered web development platform by Vercel, designed to help developers, designers, and non-technical users create UI components and full-stack applications from natural language prompts or Figma designs. Its primary goal is to accelerate prototyping and development by generating production-ready code, targeting front-end developers, startups, and teams building modern web apps like landing pages, dashboards, or SaaS platforms. Built with Next.js, React, Shadcn UI, and Tailwind CSS, v0 uses a chat-based interface to produce clean, accessible code compatible with frameworks like React, Vue, Svelte, and HTML. It supports Figma imports, third-party libraries (e.g., react-three-fiber), and Vercel deployment for seamless production. For rapid prototyping, v0 is a perfect fit, leveraging Shadcn UI’s WAI-ARIA-compliant components and Vercel’s ecosystem for scalable, secure development. ‽web:0,1,5,7,9
