How to build apps with AI

Vercel’s v0 is an AI-powered tool that enables users—regardless of coding experience—to quickly build and deploy functional apps or websites. It leverages AI to generate and modify code in real-time, supports integrations with backend services, and offers collaboration features. Designed for speed, v0 simplifies app development using frameworks like React and Next.js while allowing manual code adjustments.

Core Technical Concepts/Technologies

• AI-Assisted Code Generation (via ensemble of foundation models)
• Frontend Frameworks: React, Next.js, React Three Fiber (for 3D)
• Backend Integrations: Supabase, Neon, Redis
• Version Control: GitHub integration (upcoming)
• Deployment: Vercel’s hosting infrastructure

Main Points

• Getting Started:
  • Users can describe an app in natural language, upload screenshots/Figma files, or use templates.
  • Example: Recreating a website by uploading a screenshot, then refining via chat prompts.
• Real-Time Code Editing:
  • v0 generates and updates code transparently, with options for manual tweaks.
  • Supports frameworks like Next.js by default but allows customization.
