OpenUI

Describe a part of a web page in words and see it built live, then get the code.

What it does

OpenUI lets you describe a piece of a website, such as a sign-up form or a pricing table, and see AI build it on screen right away. You can then ask for changes and convert the result into code for popular web frameworks such as React or Svelte.

It works with many AI providers, including OpenAI, Anthropic, Google and Groq, or with models on your own computer through Ollama. Its makers describe it as an open-source tool similar to v0, though less polished.

Who it's for

Web designers and developers who want to sketch and prototype screens quickly.

Can I use it without coding?

With some setup. There's an online demo. Running your own copy takes Docker or a few commands, plus an AI provider key or Ollama. New to this? Start here.
