TL;DR
Jack Roberts demos Open Design, a free open-source GitHub repo that replicates Claude Artifacts (Claude Design) locally with no usage limits, Apache 2.0 licensing, and support for any AI model including ChatGPT, Gemini, and DeepSeek. It solves the brutal weekly cap and single-model restriction of Claude's built-in design tool.
Key points
1
Open Design is a local, open-source clone of Claude Artifacts with an Apache 2.0 license, meaning it is commercially safe with no royalties or permission required
2
It supports any LLM — Claude, ChatGPT Codex, Gemini, DeepSeek — switchable mid-project, unlike Claude Design which locks you into Opus 4.7 only
3
It ships with 71+ brand design systems (Apple, Nike, Coinbase, PlayStation, Lamborghini, etc.) baked in so you can generate brand-matched designs instantly
4
Outputs can be exported as HTML, PDF, PowerPoint, ZIP, or deployed directly to Vercel from within the app
5
The repo is only 12 days old at time of recording, so minor bugs are expected, but Jack encountered none personally
Actionable insights
→
Use Claude Opus 4.7 to generate the initial design architecture, then switch to cheaper models (DeepSeek V3, ChatGPT Codex) for iterative edits to save cost at scale
→
Add an OpenAI API key inside Open Design settings to enable native ChatGPT image generation (e.g. Ghibli-style visuals) directly inside your design canvas
→
For fully free usage, set up Open Code via Open Router with at least a $5-10 credit to validate your account, then connect free models like DeepSeek V3 to the Open Design CLI

“I'm on the $200 a month plan. I found I didn't really get any more usage than the $20 plan actually.”
