Overview
v0 is an AI-first platform from Vercel that converts natural-language ideas into production-ready web applications. It combines AI-generated UI, a visual Design Mode for pixel-perfect adjustments, reusable design systems (colors, typography, styles), templates, tight GitHub synchronization, and one-click deployments to Vercel. v0 also exposes a beta OpenAI‑compatible Model API for multimodal inputs and streaming responses, and it supports framework-aware completions (e.g., Next.js) plus tools for site inspection, web search, auto-fix, and debugging. It targets rapid prototyping through to production workflows for individuals and teams. (Source: v0.dev pages: homepage, docs, pricing, model API, FAQ.)
