AI for React codebases
AI that edits your real components

Frequently asked questions
What is Onlook?
Onlook is a visual editor for designers working in a real React codebase. Designers get an infinite canvas of the components their team already maintains and shape the product with AI as the editor. The code is the source of truth, so what you build on the canvas is the real product, not a mockup.
What can I use Onlook to do?
Onlook is great for creating websites, prototypes, user interfaces, and designs. Whether you need a quick mockup or a full-fledged website, ask Onlook to craft it for you.
How do I get started?
Getting started with Onlook is easy. Simply sign up for an account, create a new project, and follow our step-by-step guide to deploy your first application.
Is Onlook free to use?
Onlook is free for your first prompt, but you're limited by the number of messages you can send. Please see our Pricing page for more details.
What is the difference between Onlook and other design tools?
Onlook is a visual editor for code. It allows you to create and style your own creations with code as the source of truth. While it is best suited for creating websites, it can be used for anything visual – presentations, mockups, and more.
