v0 by Vercel
v0 is the best-in-class prompt-to-UI generator if you live in the Next.js / React / Tailwind / shadcn stack — which, increasingly, everyone does. The output isn't a black box: it's readable component code you can paste into your repo and edit by hand. Newer versions handle full app scaffolds with database and auth wired through Vercel's deploy pipeline, but the core sweet spot is still "I need this hero section / dashboard / form, today".
What it's good for
- 1
Prototyping a marketing page or landing hero in fifteen minutes from a brief
- 2
Generating a complete shadcn-style component (data table, filters, modals) for an admin app
- 3
Converting a Figma screenshot to working JSX you can paste into a Next.js project
- 4
Building a working app prototype to share with a client before a single line of bespoke code
- 5
Generating boilerplate forms with validation that match your existing component library
How to use it
Describe the UI in plain language with the constraints that matter (light/dark, brand colours, target framework). Iterate inside v0 — "make the CTA bigger", "swap the hero image to a video" — until the layout reads right. Click "Code" to see the JSX/Tailwind, then either copy components into your repo or use v0's built-in deploy to Vercel for a quick share link.
