Question 1

Can I customize the components for my brand?

Accepted Answer

Everything is built with Tailwind CSS and shadcn ui and ships as TypeScript source code. Change colors, spacing, or layout by editing the classes. No proprietary styling system—just headless components you fully control.

Question 2

Do I need a backend to use these components?

Accepted Answer

Most patterns include Next.js API routes that handle the ai sdk api calls. When you download a block, you will get the source code for the component, all dependencies and the API route as a neatly packaged zip file. All you need to do is edit the .env.local, pnpm install and pnpm run dev.

Question 3

Can I run blocks outside of vercel?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you can run blocks outside of vercel. The vercel ai sdk works great with node.js

Question 4

Which AI providers can I use?

Accepted Answer

You can use any AI provider that is supported by the Vercel AI SDK. We recommend using the Vercel AI Gateway   vercel.com/ai-gateway

Question 5

What's included in the Pro Plan?

Accepted Answer

Pro gives you access to all premium patterns and blocks. You also get access to all future updates and new patterns, agents, workflows, tools and more.

Question 6

Can I use this in commercial projects?

Accepted Answer

Yes. All components, including free ones, work in commercial projects. Pro Plan components require an active subscription. No attribution required, no per-project licensing—just build and ship.

Question 7

What if this doesn't work for my project?

Accepted Answer

30-day money-back guarantee. Try it, and if it doesn't fit your needs, we'll refund your payment. No questions, no hassle.

Question 8

What's tool calling and when do I need it?

Accepted Answer

Tool calling lets GPT-4 or Claude trigger functions in your code—like searching a database, calling an API, or processing data. Use it when you need the AI to take actions beyond generating text. Our examples include Firecrawl for web scraping and Exa for semantic search.

Question 9

How do I get help if I'm stuck?

Accepted Answer

Pro members get access to our private Discord with direct support from the team. We also run weekly office hours where you can ask questions live. Free tier users can use GitHub Discussions for community support.
