Prototyping
Cursor
AdoptAn AI-native code editor that lets even non-engineers spin up a working prototype.
Verdict: Adopt — Worth paying for now — a clear win for most B2B SaaS PMs.
Prototyping
v0 by Vercel
WatchTurns a text prompt into working React UI you can preview, tweak, and copy.
Verdict: Watch — Genuinely useful, but situational — adopt it only if it fits your stack.
Which wins for PMs
Cursor (Adopt) and v0 (Watch) both let a PM build without an engineer, but at different fidelity. v0 turns a prompt into throwaway React UI for a quick clickable mock; Cursor goes further, letting you validate a risky flow in a real, running app before eng commits a sprint. For serious pre-build validation, Cursor wins; for a fast visual to react to, v0 is enough.
