## What it is
Dyad is a free, local, open-source desktop AI app builder that turns natural-language prompts into working full-stack web apps, positioned as an alternative to v0, Lovable, and Bolt. It runs on your machine, supports any AI model via your own API keys (OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, Ollama, etc.), and exports real code you own with one-click GitHub/Vercel deployment.

## Use cases
- build web apps from natural language prompts without coding
- local open-source alternative to lovable or bolt.new
- generate full-stack apps with AI using my own API keys
- prototype app ideas locally with claude or gemini
- deploy AI-generated apps to vercel and github
- build apps with ollama or local models privately
- own the source code of AI-built apps with no lock-in

## When to choose
- you want a private, local AI app builder with no vendor lock-in
- you prefer bringing your own API keys and choosing any model including local ones via Ollama
- you want real, exportable code and one-click GitHub/Vercel deployment
- you're on macOS or Windows and want a free open-source v0/Lovable alternative

## When to avoid
- you need a fully hosted, zero-setup cloud experience
- you require Linux support or mobile app building as a first-class workflow
- you want a permissively licensed product for all features - the Pro code is under a Functional Source License
- you need enterprise-grade governance or team collaboration features out of the box
