What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
I sat down with Guillermo, the founder of Vercel, which is a $9 billion company.
What is Guillermo Rauch's V0 workflow for building products?
In this conversation, he dropped three powerful startup ideas that really got me to stop and think. We also went through VZero, his vibe coding product, to tell us how to make money from it, how to build software from it, and how to use it to the best of its capabilities. I always find when you sit down with the founder of these vibe coding tools, they really, really give you the sauce around how to fine tune it so you get the most out of it. I'm not sponsored by Vercel. I have no relationship with them. Just thought it would be cool to give you some ideas, see how their platform works. I hope you find it interesting. At the end of the episode, I bought a domain that I'm giving away to one of you.
I think it's an incredible domain that all you got to do, if you want it, like and comment.
How did Guillermo create the viral AI camera app in one afternoon?
And I'm going to pick one person, one person randomly to give it away. I can't wait to see what you build. Enjoy the episode.
We got Guillermo on the pod from Vercel. Guillermo, by the end of this episode, what are people going to learn?
Well, hopefully they're going to learn a little bit about my system, how I think, how I use our own tools, how I prototype, how I come up with ideas. I have some ideas that I think are good, maybe most are bad, but some might be gems for some of the listeners. Yeah, I like to work in public a lot. At Vercel, we do a ton with open source.
What advice does Guillermo give for building taste and generating startup ideas?
Maybe I'll share some of the things that we've been open sourcing that can be great starting points for people that are entrepreneurial. And yeah.
Cool.
How can you visualize products before prompting with AI?
And I just asked for one little commitment from you. You know, on this podcast, we talk about sauce, you know, giving the sauce to the people so that they can, you know, can you commit to giving the sauce? I'm all sauce. All sauce? I'm all sauce. All sauce, no breaks?
What are the innovative startup ideas Guillermo suggests for AI forms?
Yeah. Okay. Let's do it. Let's go.
Let's rip. All right, so Greg, how familiar are you with vZero?
I'm pretty familiar. OK, awesome. Yeah.
What is V0’s AI SDK and how does it enhance development?
Yeah, I think I've seen some of your tweets. So what you're looking at here, in case you're not familiar, is the Vercel workspace for vZero. So I'm literally showing you all this awesome, right? Our own workspace, how we use vZero.
How does Guillermo envision a Notion-style document tool with promptable blocks?
But you're looking at the favorites, which are mine, obviously. I created a couple things that I wanted to show you all. And by the way, funny little behind-the-scenes thing This is how I pitch product. We have a lot of huge enterprises using vZero. Yesterday I met with one of the world's largest companies. They came to the office and I basically did a version of this. So it's also a little bit of advice for people watching. How do you sell? Do you do decks? I try to show product as much as I can. So walking through a few things that I've created. So one use case of vZero that's really interesting is freeform data visualization. So it's really hard sometimes to explain complex technical concepts that have to do with different things of the Vercel infrastructure, et cetera, to customers.
So I use vZero a lot to basically give some prompt ideas and then come up with like unique visualization. So like what you're looking at here is that something that I think could have taken me quite a long time to create with like slides or whatever. And the AI walked me through how to represent this, you know, how our fluid compute system works and everything. Create something that I can hand off to other teams. I can hand off to customers. I can further solidify my understanding of technical concepts. I actually use vZero for learning a lot. So that's a fun one. I'm actually really proud of this one that you're going to look at now. So if you're super familiar with Vercel, this might look like our blog.
And so what I did is I started from the point of view of the Vercel blog and what it looks like. And by the way, if you're curious about how V0 works, it's like, it's all prompting. And so really what you're looking at here is that when I engage with my Vercel team, I could take two routes.
