Open Design is an open-source, local-first AI design studio positioned as an alternative to closed agent-driven design products. It turns existing coding agents and model providers into a design engine that can generate web, desktop, and mobile prototypes, dashboards, decks, images, video, and motion graphics while following reusable design systems and workflow skills.

The application uses real HTML, CSS, fonts, and components and can export artifacts to formats such as HTML, PDF, PPTX, and MP4. It also includes design-system files, plugins, integrations, automation, and support for many agent CLIs and OpenAI-compatible endpoints, making it useful for designers and developers who want agent-generated visual work while keeping workflows, brand rules, and output files under their own control.
