Open CoDesign

Open CoDesign is an open-source, desktop AI design tool that transforms natural language prompts into fully structured design artifacts such as prototypes, slide decks, and marketing assets. It is designed as a local-first alternative to cloud-based design tools, allowing users to run everything on their own machine while bringing their own AI model and API keys. The system supports multiple model providers and integrates directly with existing developer tools, enabling seamless workflows without vendor lock-in. It generates HTML, React components, PDFs, and other outputs in real time, rendered in a sandboxed preview environment. The architecture emphasizes privacy, with all data stored locally and no mandatory accounts or telemetry. It also includes built-in design skill modules and allows users to define custom styles and preferences. Overall, it bridges AI generation and design engineering into a unified, programmable workflow.
