Generate UI you can actually ship
Describe the interface and let your agent generate a real, component-based UI — consistent design system, responsive layout, working states. Then keep going: the same artifact becomes shipped code, in the agent you already run.
In one line
Most AI UI generators give you a mockup or a throwaway React snippet. Open Design generates the UI inside your coding agent and carries it from prompt to shipped code — real components, your design system, no export step, no per-seat meter.
How the AI UI generator works
- 01
Describe the interface
Tell your agent what to build in plain language — "a settings page with a sidebar, tabbed sections, and a save bar." Open Design loads the UI skill so the agent reaches for real components and a design system, not a one-off screen.
- 02
Generate a component-based UI
The agent assembles the interface from reusable components and design tokens, so spacing, type scale, and color stay consistent across every screen. You get a coherent UI — not a pile of inline styles you have to untangle.
- 03
Refine by talking
Adjust layout, states, and theme in conversation — "tighten the spacing," "add an empty state," "make it dark by default." The artifact updates in place instead of being regenerated from scratch.
- 04
Ship the code you own
Because the UI lives in your project, the design and the production code share one source of truth. The output is HTML/code you own and can ship — no vendor lock-in, no redraw between design and build.
What you can generate
-
Web app interfaces
Dashboards, settings, data tables — generated as a coherent component set, then taken to code.
-
Mobile app UI
Screen-by-screen mobile interfaces with consistent components and states.
-
SaaS & marketing pages
Landing, pricing, and marketing UI you can generate, theme, and ship.
-
Forms & flows
Multi-step forms, onboarding, and auth flows with clear hierarchy and states.
-
Design systems
Generate UI that respects a shared design system — tokens, components, spacing.
-
Any visual taste
Editorial, soft, or bold — carry one coherent style end to end.
Open Design vs. typical AI UI generators
| What you need | With Open Design | Typical AI UI generators |
|---|---|---|
| Generate from a prompt | One prompt in the agent you already have open | Sign up for a separate web tool, generate in their cloud |
| Real components | Built from a reusable design system, consistent across screens | One-off markup or inline styles you refactor later |
| Design to code | Same artifact becomes shipped code — no redraw | UI mockup is a dead end; rebuild for production |
| Own the output | Plain files and code in your repo, fully yours | Editable only inside their app; export-limited |
| Cost & lock-in | Open source, bring your own keys, runs locally | Per-seat or per-credit subscription, vendor-hosted |
Every one started as a prompt and rendered to a real, component-based artifact. Pick a template close to your idea, describe your variation, and the agent adapts it — from UI to shipped code.
AI UI generator FAQ
-
01 Is the AI UI generator free?
Yes. Open Design is open source and runs inside the coding agent you already use with your own provider keys — there is no per-seat or per-credit meter on the UI generator itself.
-
02 Does it generate real components or just a mockup?
Real components. The output is HTML and code built from a reusable design system, so you refine layout, states, and theme by talking to the agent instead of rebuilding a flat mockup.
-
03 Can the generated UI become production code?
That is the point. The same artifact becomes shipped code because it lives in your project — there is no redraw or handoff gap between the generated UI and what you deploy.
-
04 Which agents does it work with?
Open Design works with Claude Code, Codex, Cursor Agent, Gemini CLI, and a dozen more first-party adapters. You bring your own provider keys; nothing is hosted for you.
