What the problem is

You're in a Slack thread debating how a feature should work. Someone proposes a new UI pattern - a command palette, a settings panel, a multi-step wizard. Words aren't landing. Sketching on a whiteboard isn't an option. Scheduling a Figma session pushes the decision to next week. You describe the idea to Zero in plain language. It calls v0, generates a fully interactive React prototype, and posts the live preview link right back in the thread - in under a minute. Everyone can click through it before the conversation moves on.

How Zero fixes it

Step 1: Connect your tools

Required

Zero sends your idea as a generation prompt to v0 and retrieves the interactive prototype URL. Connect your v0 account to enable this.

Connect

Slack

Optional

Zero reads your idea from the Slack thread and posts the prototype link back in the same conversation.

Connect

Step 2: Ask Zero

@Zero prototype this: a command palette that lets users search agents, recent runs, and connectors. Keyboard-navigable, fuzzy search, shows a preview panel on the right side.

try it

Describe the idea in plain language

No spec, no wireframe required. Tell Zero what the UI should do - the components, the interactions, the data it surfaces. Paste a rough sketch description or just riff from the thread.

Zero generates the prototype via v0

Zero translates your description into a structured v0 prompt and calls the v0 API. v0 produces a fully interactive React component - real buttons, real states, real navigation.

Live preview link posted in Slack

Zero posts the v0 preview URL back in the same thread. Teammates can click through the prototype immediately, on any device, without installing anything or checking out code.

Step 3: Take it further

Refine in the thread

Keep iterating without leaving Slack

@Zero update the prototype - the search input should have an icon on the left, and empty state should show recent items instead of nothing.

Share for async feedback

Post to a broader channel or DM stakeholders

@Zero share the v0 prototype link to #product with the message: 'Quick prototype of the command palette idea - feedback welcome before Thursday.'

try it

Hand off to engineering

Export the generated code into the repo

@Zero take the v0 prototype code and open a PR in vm0-ai/vm0 under turbo/apps/platform/src/components/CommandPalette.tsx for the team to build on.

Tips for better results

●Describe behavior, not just appearance. 'Clicking a row expands details below it' gets a more accurate prototype than 'expandable rows'.

●Reference existing UI patterns by name - 'like a VS Code command palette' or 'like Notion's slash menu' - to anchor v0's generation.

●Use the iterate prompt immediately after the first result. One round of refinement usually gets you 90% of the way there.
