## Overview

v0 is Vercel's AI assistant for building web applications from text prompts, screenshots and Figma imports. It started as a generator of React components and now produces full-stack Next.js projects with Tailwind CSS and shadcn/ui, shown in a live preview next to the chat. A built-in VS Code-style editor lets you edit the code yourself, and a visual Design Mode lets you adjust the interface without writing code.

## Key features

- Prompt-to-app generation
- Live previews
- Built-in code editor
- Design Mode
- Git integration
- Figma and screenshot import
- One-click deployment
- Model choice
- v0 API and SDK
- iOS app

## FAQ

**Can I use v0 generated code commercially?**

Vercel states that it does not claim ownership of the code generated from your prompts. The output may resemble other users' output, may contain bugs and may not suit your needs, so you are responsible for reviewing it before commercial use.

**How much does v0 cost?**

Free is $0 and limited to 7 messages per day. Plus is $30 per user per month and Business is $100 per user per month, each with $30 of monthly credits per user. Enterprise is custom. Credits are spent per token based on the model.

**Is my data used to train models?**

v0 may use prompts and content as inputs to third-party model providers to improve its products. Enterprise customers, and customers who opt out in their Vercel settings, are excluded. Business has training opt-out by default.

**Which frameworks does v0 support?**

v0 targets Next.js, React, TypeScript, Tailwind CSS and shadcn/ui, with particular expertise in Next.js, Tailwind CSS, shadcn/ui and the AI SDK.

**Can I work on an existing codebase?**

Yes. You can import a GitHub repository and work on it in v0. v0 creates working branches and pull requests and never pushes directly to main. For previews and deployments, the repository should be connected to a Vercel project.

**Does v0 have an API or a mobile app?**

Yes to both. The v0 API at api.v0.dev gives programmatic access to chats, projects and deployments with a TypeScript SDK, and an iOS app is available on the App Store. There is no Android app listed.
