Knighn and v0
v0 makes full apps from a prompt and deploys them to Vercel. Knighn is a canvas where you and your agent design screens, then hand them to code.
Pick v0 when you want
- Builds a full-stack app, with a backend and data, from a prompt.
- One-click deploys to Vercel, and pull requests.
- No design step: go from an idea to a running app fast.
Pick Knighn when you want
- A real canvas. Move, resize and style layers by hand, as in a design tool.
- Many screens side by side, with shared components and theme tokens.
- Use your own agent: Claude Code, Codex, Cursor or any MCP client.
- Preview deploys to Vercel and pull requests to GitHub are there too.
