Build Installers with AI

Describe your package in plain English, generate a first project, then refine files and actions directly inside the IDE. Bring your own AI provider — OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Mistral — or run a local model with Ollama or llama.cpp for full privacy.

What this unlocks

Choose any AI provider via API key, or keep everything private with a local model — your data never leaves your machine.

Your AI-Powered Installer Assistant

Ask for a silent installer, a signed package, or a setup with custom screens, and the assistant assembles the first version inside the product. Connect any provider with an API key, or use a local private model.

  • Generate a project from a natural-language request
  • Choose your AI: OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Mistral, or a local model (Ollama, llama.cpp)
  • Refine the result with iterative prompts inside the IDE
