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 and Multitenancy.
