A free and open source AI app builder. Describe what you want to build and AI will generate it for you. Bring your own API key — no paywalls, no credit limits. ⚠️ This is an early MVP. It works but it's not perfect yet. We're actively improving it every day. You type something like "build me a todo app with dark mode" and it generates the code and shows you a live preview. That's it. git clone https://github.com/YOURUSERNAME/forgeai.git cd forgeai npm install npm run dev The easiest free options are Groq and Gemini — no credit card needed. This is an open source project and contributions are very welcome. Even small fixes help. Open an issue or pull requestfrom github.com
