Open Design : j'ai testé l'alternative open-source à Claude Design

The speaker reviews Open Design, an open-source tool recently released, noting both its strengths and weaknesses. The tool aims to address the limitations of existing design software, which often restrict usage time. Open Design is built upon other popular tools like Ouashu Design and allows integration with various systems such as Codex, Cloud, and Gini. The installation process requires running VS Code with administrator rights for those encountering Corepac enable issues. Once installed, Open Design successfully detects other tools on the computer, like Cloud Code and Codex. The interface is strikingly similar to Cloud Design, featuring a design system concept where users can input assets to ensure consistency with their brand. Key features include tabs for prototype, slide deck, from template, and new additions like image, video, and audio generation. The speaker particularly appreciates the ability to generate images using GPT Image 2, a tool they frequently use for thumbnails. Open Design also allows importing zip files from Cloud Design, which is convenient for transferring existing projects. However, several significant drawbacks are identified. Open Design is reported to be at least twice as slow as Cloud Design. Crucially, the "comment," "edit," and "draw" functionalities, which are central to Cloud Design's efficiency and lower token consumption, are currently non-functional in Open Design. This is a major impediment, as these features are essential for making precise modifications without excessive resource use. The speaker demonstrates an attempt to refine a footer in a prototype, which consumed a significant amount of tokens and took over six minutes to complete, highlighting the tool's inefficiency. Another test involved creating a slide deck, which also posed problems. The export to PPTX failed to provide any progress indication and ultimately timed out after 18 minutes, rendering the feature unusable for a five-page presentation. Despite these issues, the speaker commends Open Design for venturing into the open-source design space. While acknowledging the effort and some decent results, particularly with the slider, the tool's astronomical token consumption, extreme slowness, and lack of core functionalities like comment, edit, and draw make it impractical for immediate use. The speaker plans to monitor its development for future updates, hoping for improvements that will address these critical limitations.
