Overview

Open CoDesign is a free desktop app that designs from a description. You type what you want, such as a landing page, a pitch deck or a mobile screen, and an AI agent builds it while you watch. You then click any part to ask for a change, adjust colors and spacing with sliders, and export HTML, PDF, PowerPoint, ZIP or Markdown. It suits founders, marketers and designers who want quick prototypes with the AI model they already pay for.

It is open source and runs on your own computer, and it works with your own API key, a ChatGPT plan or a local model instead of a new subscription.

Try these first

Start with the first one: it is a small task you can check easily.

  1. Open the landing page demo and generate it. Then switch on Comment mode and ask for a shorter headline.First try · uses model credits

  2. Design a one-page schedule for a two-day workshop from this list: [paste schedule]. Export it as a PDF.

  3. Make a six-slide pitch deck for [product idea] in a warm, plain style, then export it as PPTX.

  4. Build a phone-sized to-do app prototype where adding a task updates the counts on every screen.

Good to know

Describe a page, deck or app screen and get an interactive prototype you can refine. You point at the parts to change, then export the result as HTML, PDF, PPTX, ZIP or Markdown.

Limits

  • The installers are not signed yet. The README says recent macOS versions need one xattr command before the app opens, and Windows shows a SmartScreen warning.
  • Prototypes are not working services: data and service actions are simulated, with no real sign-in, payments or backend.
