While AI is part of its feature set, it is not the only selling point. In my opinion, its strength is in being able to design with and manipulate React components visually.Finally, for quick ideas and prototypes, check out v0. Because the output is mostly unstyled, it makes for great wireframe-like prototypes that are shareable. By playing with working prototypes, it's very quickly apparent what you should incorporate into your designs.“This episode was hosted by:Brittany Hobbs is VP of Insights at Huge, a global design and technology consultancy.
