Welcome to the age of Agentic AI! Build an APP in 10 min

Sponsored by

Happy Friday, you beautiful brain-powered machine. 🧠

While you were sipping espresso and dodging meetings, AI quietly ate another chunk of the working world.

This week:
– Salesforce gave half its workload to robots
– Google turned Gemini into a spreadsheet sorcerer
– Goldman Sachs handed every employee an AI assistant (Wall Street bots, baby)
– And I built an actual field app for my company using just one AI prompt — no dev, no drag-and-drop, no drama.

Welcome to the age of Agentic AI, spreadsheet wizards, and “I built this in 5 minutes” flexes.

Let’s get into it.

I Tried Building a Mapping App for my Company with V0 — Here's What Happened

You ever get that itch?
You’ve got an idea for a product, you know it should exist, and you’re ready to move fast…

But then you remember:
“I’m not a developer. I’m an idea guy.”
Yeah. That was me last week.

At my company BIOTA, we needed a simple app:
A clean UI for field workers to collect biodiversity data across different sites and ecosystems. Think: GPS points, photo upload, and a few dropdowns for things like habitat type and location.

Sounds simple, right?

Well, I could either:

1. Pay a dev €3k and wait 3 weeks

2. Or try out this hyped-up AI tool I’ve been hearing about: V0.dev

Spoiler: I went with V0. I love to play around with new AI tools, and V0 is a perfect add-on to my collection.
Here’s how it went.

The Vision

My prompt:

I typed that into V0’s AI builder and hit “Generate.”

Within 30 seconds, it spit out a clean, professional-looking UI. It had all I needed.

I was legit shocked. This looked like something an agency would charge me €3k to deliver.

Getting Hands-On

Okay, now the fun part.
V0 doesn’t just show you the UI. It gives you the actual code — clean, production-ready React + Tailwind.

So I:

1. Exported the code

2. Dropped it into a Next.js sandbox on Vercel

3. Hooked it up to a Firebase backend (just for fun) to log entries

4. Shared it with a few folks on my team (Beta test)

It worked. On mobile. First try.
I even got a “This is better than what we paid for last time” comment. That one hit nice.

What I Liked

• Speed: From prompt to prototype in under 5 minutes

• Design: Tailwind + shadcn = sexy UI out of the box

• Customizability: You can tweak the code or regenerate new components on the fly

• No Blocky Drag-and-Drop: It’s all prompt-based. I say it, it builds it.

Where It Struggles

Now, real talk—V0 isn’t perfect:

• It won’t handle backend logic for you. You’ll still need to wire up your database or storage (Firebase, Supabase, whatever).

• It can sometimes over-design (you ask for a simple form, you get a landing page with gradients and testimonials 😂).

• If you’re picky about layout, you’ll still want to tinker with the CSS.

But for MVPs? For internal tools? For fast concept validation?
It’s 🔥.

The Bigger Picture (aka Why This Excites Me)

IN my company, we’re scaling fast—more sites, more fieldworkers, more data.
Tools like V0 mean we don’t have to bottleneck on devs to build these micro-apps.
We can go from:

It’s no-code for people who don’t want to drag boxes.
It’s text-to-tool.
It’s game-changing.

Final Take

I tested V0 for a real-world problem. It worked.
It saved me time, money, and let me ship something usable in hours, not weeks.

If you’re building a startup, running ops, or just need a faster way to test ideas — go try it.
You’ll feel like you hired a designer, a front-end dev, and a product manager... all rolled into one grumpy-but-brilliant AI.

→ Try V0.dev

Catch you next build,
