Build a React app with AI
Start a React + TypeScript app in your browser and let the Claude Code Agent build it out, with live preview, GitHub integration, and one-click Vercel deploys.
A clean React + TypeScript starter with Tailwind directives and a Vite build script. It's the right starting point when you know what you want to build and want the AI agent to write it on a standard, portable stack.
Use cases
What you can build
- Internal tools and admin panels
- Single-page apps with client-side routing
- Prototypes you plan to grow into production apps
- Learning React by watching the agent build and explain each change
What's included
In the starter
- src/App.tsx with a Tailwind-styled root component
- src/index.css with the Tailwind base, components, and utilities layers
- package.json with React 18, React DOM, Vite, and @vitejs/plugin-react
- dev and build scripts wired to Vite
