Product Overview
What is OpenDesign?
OpenDesign connects coding agents with a visual workspace to turn prompts into working HTML prototypes, websites, dashboards, and presentations. Users can apply shared design systems, refine layouts directly, and keep project files locally for further development. It supports local agents, personal API keys, and hosted models, with export options for design reviews and engineering handoffs.
Key Features
Coding Agent Integration
Work with Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, and other coding agents, or connect models through personal API keys and OpenDesign Cloud.
Reusable Design Systems
Choose from over 150 design systems or create one from a website, GitHub repository, or Figma file to maintain consistent visual styles.
Direct Visual Editing
Refine generated designs by moving and resizing elements, editing text and colors, and adjusting spacing without regenerating the entire layout.
Local Project Ownership
Keep projects as local HTML, CSS, and related files that can be opened in an editor or handed to a coding agent.
Flexible Export Options
Export designs as standalone HTML, PDF, or PNG, and export presentations as editable PowerPoint files.
Extensible Skills
Add and customize community skills for research, content creation, design, and delivery workflows.
Use Cases
- Product Prototyping : Turn product requirements into interactive interface prototypes for reviewing screen layouts and user flows before development.
- Website Design : Create landing pages and website concepts with consistent typography, colors, and components.
- Dashboard Exploration : Generate and refine dashboard layouts to evaluate information hierarchy and interface structure.
- Presentation Creation : Build branded slide decks and export editable PowerPoint files for further revision.
- Engineering Handoff : Give developers editable HTML and CSS files as a starting point for implementation rather than relying only on static mockups.
