Build a chat screen in v0, the right way: what it needs, how v0 handles it, and a prompt that starts from a real design so the first result already looks shipped.

- send and attachment controls
- typing or streaming indicators
- timestamps and read state
Building it in v0
In v0, you Vercel's AI UI generator. You describe a screen and it returns React components; pairing it with a real design reference makes the output match a proven layout. The fastest path is not to hand-place every element from scratch, but to give the builder a real chat design to match. A vague prompt produces a generic screen; a concrete reference produces one you would ship.
That is what VP0 is for: a free library of iOS app designs built for AI builders, where every design has a machine-readable source page your tool can read from a pasted link. Pair it with v0 and the first generation matches a proven layout.
