…Yeah, of course. We're all about shipping. Okay, so as I mentioned, you write in English, you yap into the tool. I'll say for a demo, let's create a contact sales form in the style of ... By the way, I had a typo. I don't care. Let's get it. It's Elf Supreme, the clothing company for an online store. Now, I mentioned that sometimes people get blocked, there is a writer paralysis at this step. So we added enhanced prompt. So now you're tapping into the latent space of the model, which has a random component to it. And by the way, this is still not a substitute. It doesn't contradict what I said earlier, knowing the meaningful tokens, knowing what the right style is, and what it's called, and whatever is still highly valuable. So the first thing you're going to notice is that as the model thinks, you can introspect its thinking. So we added this recently. It's been mostly inspired actually by the Deepseek revolution. I would say. So the fact that when you tell it, "Develop a contact sales form," what is it going to do? We talked about escape hatches. Okay, it's going to use shadcn/ui, it's going to use Tailwind CSS, it's going to use React. And this is your opportunity that if v0 is not doing exactly what you wanted, this is your opportunity to actually go and correct, or influence, or give feedback and so on. So you're going to notice it spits out a bunch of files, and it gives me the thing that I wanted. I'm going to zoom out a little bit, here. A couple of things that stand out here that again, as an experienced engineer, I can point out. The underlying component system that it uses is the same component system that the best tools on the planet are built with. This is called shadcn. If you go to grok.com today, they're using shadcn to build their UI. They're using Next.js. You're getting that caliber of code. The other thing that it did is people on social media talk about this a lot. When you use a global shared component system with the world, you don't want everything to look the same. So the fact that he was able to apply the style and he kind of knew what supreme looked like was kind of cool. But now I'm going to say, "Actually, because I am building a financial institution, make it more serious, make it in the style of let's say Charles Schwab. Change typefaces.' So this is the iteration process of like, "I'm going to go and give feedback to the model. I'm going to make it try different things." So once that initial generation was already created, now the model is actually acting more as an editor. It's going and making tweaks to what's already been built. And this actually scales to very large projects. You could have started with something much bigger. So in the meantime, I'm going to show you what Lumalabs created with v0, which is absolutely phenomenal. I learned about this last night. It already has 2,000 forks. I was telling you about the power of our community. So by the way, you can just click community here on the v0 sidebar. olutely phenomenal. I learned about this last night. It already has 2,000 forks. I was telling you about the power of our community. So by the way, you can just click community here on the v0 sidebar. I'm going to fork it, because they generously shared it with the world. Notice all the incredible animations here? By the way, they shipped this to hire and attract talent to their company. I recommend them, by the way, you should, if you want to be a brand designer, take them into consideration. Notice that it's an interactive, everything is AI generated, they used their own AI image generation tool to create these beautiful frames. These are all AI generated as well. Wow.…
