| # Welcome to OSW Studio |
|
|
| **Build websites by chatting with AI. No coding required.** |
|
|
| OSW Studio is a browser-based development environment where you describe what you want, and AI builds it for you. Create complete websites with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript through natural conversation. |
|
|
| ## What You Can Build |
|
|
| - Personal websites and portfolios |
| - Landing pages and marketing sites |
| - Blogs and documentation sites |
| - Interactive web applications |
| - Python and Lua scripts with an interactive console |
| - Anything that runs in a browser (HTML/CSS/JS, Handlebars, React, Preact, Svelte, Vue, Python, Lua) |
|
|
| ## How It Works |
|
|
| 1. **Chat with AI** - Describe your website in plain English |
| 2. **Watch it build** - AI creates files, writes code, and explains what it's doing |
| 3. **See it live** - Preview your site in real-time as it's being built |
| 4. **Export & deploy** - Download your site and publish to Vercel, Netlify, or any static host |
|
|
| ## Key Features |
|
|
| **🤖 Multiple AI Providers** |
| Choose from 14+ providers: OpenRouter, OpenAI, Anthropic, Google Gemini, Groq, HuggingFace, SambaNova, MiniMax, Zhipu, mesh-llm, ChatGPT subscription (Plus/Pro), or run locally with Ollama, LM Studio, or llama.cpp |
|
|
| **💾 Works in Your Browser** |
| Everything stays private in your browser. No server required. |
|
|
| **🖥️ Desktop App** |
| Native app for macOS, Windows, and Linux with built-in publishing and sync |
|
|
| **🎨 Live Preview** |
| See your website update in real-time as AI builds it |
|
|
| **🧱 Semantic Blocks** |
| Drag 36 pre-defined blocks (heroes, forms, pricing, galleries) onto the preview — the AI writes code that fits your project's style |
|
|
| **📦 Export Ready** |
| Download complete, deployable websites with one click |
|
|
| **🎯 Templates & Skills** |
| Start from 12 built-in templates or teach AI your preferred workflows |
|
|
| ## Two Modes |
|
|
| **Browser Mode** (default) -- everything runs in your browser. No server, no account, complete privacy. Export your site as a ZIP and deploy anywhere. |
|
|
| **Server Mode** -- self-host for teams or clients. Adds workspaces (isolated environments with their own projects and deployments), user accounts with role-based access, static site publishing, databases, and an admin dashboard. See **[Server Mode](?doc=server-mode)** and **[Multitenancy](?doc=multitenancy)**. |
|
|
