Openv0 is a generative UI component framework that allows users to AI-generate and iterate on UI components with live previews. It targets frontend developers and designers looking to accelerate UI development by leveraging AI for component creation, integrating with popular frameworks like React, Next.js, and Svelte, and UI libraries such as NextUI and Shadcn.

How It Works

Openv0 employs a multipass pipeline for component generation, where each pass functions as an independent plugin. This modular design facilitates complex generative processes and allows for easier integration of new frameworks, libraries, and plugins. The system leverages open-source component libraries and icons to build a library of assets for its generative pipeline.

Quick Start & Requirements

• Install: npx openv0@latest
• Prerequisites: OpenAI API key.
• Setup: Run npx openv0@latest for automated setup and dependency installation. Alternatively, clone the repo, install dependencies manually (npm i in server/), unzip server/library/icons/lucide/vectordb/index.zip, configure OpenAI key in server/.env, set WEBAPP_ROOT in server/.env, and start the server (node api.js) and web app (npm run dev).
