Open CoDesign is an open-source, local-first desktop AI design tool that turns prompts into polished artifacts like UI prototypes, slide decks, and PDFs. It supports bring-your-own-key multi-model inference (Claude, GPT, Gemini, DeepSeek, OpenRouter, local Ollama) and stores all sessions and generated files on your own machine.
Use cases
- generate a landing page from a text prompt
- create slide decks and PDFs with AI
- prototype UI without writing code
- use my existing Claude Code or Codex API key for design work
- run an AI design tool fully locally with Ollama
- refine generated designs with AI-tuned sliders and element comments
- preview responsive designs in phone and tablet frames
When to choose
- you want an open-source, BYOK alternative to Claude Design, v0, Lovable, or Bolt.new
- you prefer designs and prompts to stay local with no mandatory account or telemetry
- you already pay for an LLM provider and want to reuse those keys, including local Ollama models
- you need quick prompt-to-prototype, slides, or PDF generation on your desktop
When to avoid
- you want a hosted, zero-setup SaaS design tool with managed inference
- you need full collaborative design-team workflows like traditional Figma
- you have no LLM API key, subscription, or local model available
- you need production-grade code export rather than prototypes and artifacts
