@TropicolX just wanted to clarify the topic. We would like to see a complete UI landing page with multiple sections like Hero, features, about, etc built using https://v0.dev/ via prompting. Not so much integrating UI in the project. But to highlight Vercel's v0 platform and how developers can use it to build out complete UI for their website with Next JS.

@Theodore-Kelechukwu-Onyejiaku let me know if you have additional feedback.

[Theodore-Kelechukwu-Onyejiaku]

You have made a very good point @PaulBratslavsky.

@TropicolX , Please will you be willing to incorporate this? Let me know.

[TropicolX]

Hi @PaulBratslavsky. Thank you for clarifying the topic. I understand now that the main focus of the tutorial is to highlight Vercel’s v0 platform for building complete UI landing pages with Next.js rather than integrating specific AI features.


Based on this info, @Theodore-Kelechukwu-Onyejiaku, can I send an updated outline that omits the other AI tools I added in my previous outline (i.e., the AI chatbot and Image upscaling AI tool) and just focus solely on Vercel's v0?

[Theodore-Kelechukwu-Onyejiaku]

Hi @TropicolX ,

Please do. Thanks.

Hi @Theodore-Kelechukwu-Onyejiaku,

Just bumping this in case you missed it.
Looking forward to your feedback.

[Theodore-Kelechukwu-Onyejiaku]

Hi @TropicolX ,

I sure hope you understand you will be using v0 prompts (including terminal commands) to create the UI of this project?

[TropicolX]

Hi @Theodore-Kelechukwu-Onyejiaku ,

Yes, I understand this.

[Theodore-Kelechukwu-Onyejiaku]

@TropicolX , please proceed, thank you!

Hi @TropicolX ,

I just skimmed through your work, it looks great! However, I noticed there was no Demo (GIF) of the functional landing page. Please could you include it. If I have any other thing from you when I start review, I will let you know.
