Inspired by one of my favorite shows from childhood, George Shrinks, I used to draw up little sketches of pie-in-the-sky inventions—like a mini helicopter with a fork and knife attached to its base that would hover over your dinner plate and cut up your meal for you. (I was a child.)
Back then, those ideas stayed on paper. But AI app builders like v0 by Vercel make it a lot easier to bring your ideas—real, grown-up ones—into the world. Just describe what you want to build, and v0 turns it into a working product, complete with live components and exportable code.
If you're looking for a little inspiration, here are four examples of real products professionals across various industries have built with v0.

What is v0?
v0 by Vercel is a generative AI tool that turns natural language prompts into interface components or even entire pages. You tell it what you want—for example, a dashboard with charts and filters for tracking customer feedback—and v0 will spit out a polished layout, complete with live components you can use.
v0 by Vercel examples: What you can build with AI
Let's look at four real examples of what folks across different industries have actually built with v0—because nothing says "you can do it" like seeing someone else do it first.
1. Prototype an internal feedback tool
Collecting feedback is one thing—turning it into something usable is a whole other mess. Especially when every department treats feedback the way my dog "hides" his bully stick: one day, it's in Slack, the next, it's buried in a Notion doc, or worse, locked in someone's brain. It's chaotic, inconsistent, and impossible to piece together when you need real insights.
That was the challenge for Patric Edwards, founder and principal software architect at Cirrus Bridge: "I used v0 to prototype an internal tool for tracking product feedback across multiple client conversations," he says. "We called it a 'Voice of the Customer' dashboard, and it now serves as a single, filterable view of feedback tied to feature requests, sentiment, and user roles."
"v0 instantly spun up a usable layout that felt like something we could ship."

Patric says what impressed him the most with v0 was how quickly it could take him from idea to interface: "Instead of waiting on front-end cycles or wrestling with component libraries, I just described the workflow I had in mind—tagging feedback by source, assigning urgency levels, and visualizing recurring themes—and v0 instantly spun up a usable layout that felt like something we could ship."
"Even better, the ability to export clean React code meant we weren't boxed into a no-code platform," Patric adds. "Our dev team could jump in, customize the logic, and hook it into our backend without starting from scratch. It blurred the line between mockup and MVP, which saved us weeks. That experience alone made v0 a go-to in my toolkit, especially for early validation when speed matters more than polish."
2. Create a customer feedback dashboard
Internal feedback is just one side of the story. If you want the full picture, you need to hear from the people actually using your product. That's what Daniel Haiem, CEO of AppMakers USA, set out to solve.
"I used v0 to build an internal dashboard for tracking real-time user feedback across multiple client apps," he says. "Kind of a mini control center for surfacing bugs, feature requests, and sentiment trends in one view. Normally, that would've taken a two-day build where I'd have to stitch together a front-end with backend endpoints—maybe even pull in some basic charting libraries."
Instead, he says, it was plug and play: "I described what I needed—a dashboard with cards for each app, sorted by volume of feedback, and filters for type and urgency. From that, v0 spit out a clean React layout. I still had to wire it up to our API endpoints, but the scaffolding was solid and saved me hours."
Borets Stamenov, co-founder and CEO of SeekFast, can attest to the speed and ease of using v0: "I built a customer feedback dashboard in under 40 minutes. I used v0 to drag in Airtable data, auto-generate UI components, and wire up filters without touching backend code. The built-in authentication and styling shortcuts saved even more time. Without v0, this project would've taken two developers and one designer over a week to build."
v0 also gives Borets the freedom to quickly experiment with other ideas: "Now I can iterate solo, test layouts live, and ship—all in the same day."
3. Build an interactive onboarding tool
When you're shipping fast, every small win adds up. For Thomas Franklin, CEO of Swapped, that meant smoothing out an onboarding roadbump that was consistently tripping up new users and flooding his support team with the same questions.
"When users wanted to know why they couldn't deposit over €2,500 right away, support tickets piled up," he says. "We used v0 to mock up a three-step interactive tool in under 90 minutes—no back-and-forth with design, no endless copy loops. It had dropdowns for the country, ID type, and KYC level. Based on inputs, it showed exact limits, next steps, and time-to-upgrade."
"You can't overstate what that speed unlocks when you're shipping products every week."

Spinning up a prototype wasn't just fast—it gave the Swapped team something real to work with. "Instead of a deck or static Figma file, v0 gave us a tangible product to react to," Thomas says. "We shared the link internally, got stakeholder feedback, and launched the polished version, which was nearly identical to the v0 draft 48 hours later."
The payoff was measurable: "If I had built the product with traditional tooling, it would have cost $1,400 in development time and three Zoom calls I didn't want. Instead, I spent $0 and made a decision in under two hours. You can't overstate what that speed unlocks when you're shipping products every week."
As for the Swapped support team, Thomas adds, "Ticket volume dropped 43% in five days."
4. Build a web scraping dashboard
Managing multiple web scraping jobs is like monitoring a fleet of food delivery bikers during a rainstorm—some are cruising, others have wiped out, and one is live-texting you about a raccoon blocking the exit.
That's what it felt like for Kevin Liu, VP of Products at Octoparse. "Tracking multiple scraping jobs across different projects was a challenge. Errors would go unnoticed, retries had to be triggered manually, and team members lacked visibility into ongoing processes," he says.
So Kevin used v0 to quickly spin up an internal dashboard that gave his team real-time updates on all running scrapers: "It automatically flags failed tasks, triggers retries when necessary, and even sends alerts via Slack or email if a job needs manual intervention. We also integrated it with our data pipeline, so cleaned and structured data flows directly into our internal databases without extra steps."
Kevin shares how the dashboard has helped his team be more proactively productive: "This tool has saved us hours of manual work each week, reduced downtime, and helped us catch issues before they impacted our data pipelines.
"The best part," Kevin adds, "is that we were able to iterate quickly and adapt the tool to different use cases without relying on engineers. v0 allowed us to go from idea to implementation in days, not weeks."
Build more with Zapier
v0 by Vercel is great if you want to build a standalone app or get the code you need to manually embed into another tool. But if your goal is to quickly create something that connects with the rest of your tech stack—like routing your internal and external feedback to Slack—Zapier is a great fit.
With Zapier Interfaces, you can build custom front-ends, including intake forms and dashboards, complete with an embedded Zapier Chatbot that can handle FAQs and triage issues. Then use Zaps (automated workflows) to automatically route tickets, send updates, or escalate urgent requests to the right person. With Zapier Tables, you can store and manage customer data, log issues, or designate agent assignments in a centralized database built to power your workflows. And if you're not sure where to start, you can use Zapier Canvas to visualize your workflows and see how this will all work together.
You can even build a Zapier Agent that acts like a support teammate—processing inputs, finding answers, making decisions, and taking action based on your internal knowledge. Learn more about how to automate your entire workflow using Zapier.
