v0 + Powabase

v0 writes the Next.js UI. Powabase serves what it shows.

v0 generates Next.js components and ships them fast. Set your Powabase URL and Service Role key as environment variables and its server actions can read your tables, run agents, and search a knowledge base.

Quick start

Three steps and v0 is building on Powabase.

  1. 1

    Create a Powabase project

    Create a project at app.powabase.ai and open the Connect dialog (top-left in Studio). Copy the Project URL and the Service Role (Secret) Key. The Service Role key reaches everything: the agent and AI endpoints, plus full database access. Keep it on the server and never put it in the browser.

  2. 2

    Set environment variables

    Set the Project URL and Service Role key in your v0 or Vercel project so server actions can reach Powabase. Keep the key out of client components.

    Environment
    BASE_URL=<Project URL>
    API_KEY=<Service Role (Secret) Key>
  3. 3

    Describe the app

    Ask v0 for the interface. It writes the components and server actions that hit Powabase. The examples below are a good starting point.

Example apps

Real apps, each from one prompt. Copy any of them and give it to v0.

RAG support chatbot

Ingest our product docs, help center, and resolved tickets into a knowledge base, embedding on upload. Expose a support agent that answers with inline citations, streams over SSE, and hands off to a human when confidence is low. Add email and Google sign-in, isolate every conversation per organization with row-level security, and ship it as an embeddable chat widget.

Internal knowledge assistant

Index our wikis, runbooks, and exported threads into a knowledge base, chunking and embedding on upload. Expose an agent that answers with citations and respects per-department access, keep it fresh with scheduled re-indexing of changed sources, and add SSO sign-in plus an analytics view of unanswered questions.

AI help desk

Model tickets, organizations, and agents with row-level security, and auto-triage incoming tickets with an agent that predicts category and priority and drafts a reply from the knowledge base. Escalate low-confidence cases, run SLA timers as scheduled jobs, add email auth, and provide a live queue dashboard.

Sales CRM

Model companies, contacts, deals, and activities in Postgres with row-level security per team and roles for reps and managers. Build a pipeline board with stage tracking, an activity timeline, and semantic search across notes, plus a dashboard of weighted pipeline and win rate. Wire OAuth sign-in and an audit log of every change.

News monitoring app

Pull RSS feeds and news APIs on a schedule, deduplicate and embed each article, and run an agent that clusters related stories, summarizes them, and tags entities and sentiment. Let users define watchlists and alert rules, isolate data per workspace, and deliver a realtime feed plus a daily email digest via a cron job.

Invoice & receipt automation

Accept PDF and image uploads to storage, then extract vendor, line items, totals, and dates with an extraction agent and write validated records to Postgres, routing low-confidence fields to human review. Add approval workflows, per-team access control, exports to accounting formats, and a searchable archive.
