About Vercel

Vercel is the frontend cloud platform behind Next.js — the most popular React framework, used by Netflix, TikTok, Twitch, and hundreds of thousands of developers. The company has expanded into AI with v0, a tool that generates full web application interfaces from natural language descriptions.

v0 represents a new category: AI-powered application generation. Describe what you want ('a dashboard with a sidebar, charts, and a data table') and v0 generates production-ready React code using shadcn/ui components. The generated code is real, editable, and deployable — not a mockup or prototype.

Vercel's AI SDK also provides the open-source tooling that thousands of developers use to build AI-powered applications, handling streaming, tool use, and multi-model support. The combination of hosting platform + AI generation tool + AI development framework makes Vercel a central player in the AI application ecosystem.
