v0 has evolved since we last featured it in the Radar. It now includes a design mode that further lowers the barrier for product managers to create and tweak self-serve UI prototypes. The latest release introduces an in-house model with large context windows and multimodal capabilities, enabling v0 to generate and improve UIs from both text and visual inputs. Another notable addition is its agentic mode, which allows the system to break down more complex work and select the appropriate model for each. However, this feature is still new, and early feedback has been mixed.
v0 by Vercel is an AI tool for generating front-end code from a screenshot, Figma design or simple prompt. It supports React, Vue, shadcn and Tailwind among other front-end frameworks. Beyond AI-generated code, v0 offers a great user experience, including the ability to preview the generated code and deploy it to Vercel in one step. While building real-world applications involves integrating multiple functionalities beyond a single screen, v0 provides a solid way to prototype and can be used to initialize a starting point for developing complex applications.
