AI-powered vibe coding platform — describe what you want, watch it build.
Features · Quick Start · Environment Variables · Docker · Tech Stack · Contributing
Devonz is a local AI-powered vibe coding platform forked from bolt.diy. Describe what you want to build in natural language, and an AI agent generates full-stack applications in a browser-based IDE with an integrated editor, terminal, and live preview.
This is a local development tool, not a hosted web service. You run it on your own machine, bring your own API keys, and keep full control of your code.
- Real-time code generation — AI streaming produces code as you watch, with live diffs applied to the editor.
- In-browser code execution — run and preview generated applications directly in the browser via WebContainer.
- 22+ LLM providers — OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, xAI, Groq, Mistral, DeepSeek, OpenRouter, Ollama, LM Studio, and more. Swap models mid-conversation.
- Agent mode — handles complex multi-step tasks with autonomous planning and execution.
- Template system — start from React, Astro, Vite + Shadcn, and other popular boilerplates, then customise with AI.
- Git integration — built-in version control with commit, branch, and push support.
- Smart terminal — integrated terminal with error detection and intelligent alerts that help the agent auto-fix failures.
- Speech-to-text — dictate prompts instead of typing.
- File upload — attach files and images to prompts for additional context.
- Dark / light themes — system-aware theme switching.
- Framer Motion animations — smooth chat animations and transitions.
- Error classification — errors are categorised and routed to toast notifications or dialog windows based on severity.
- Deploy from the UI — push to GitHub, GitLab, Netlify, or Vercel directly.
| Requirement | Version |
|---|---|
| Node.js | ≥ 18.18.0 |
| pnpm | 9.x (see below) |
Enable pnpm via Corepack:
corepack enable
corepack prepare pnpm@9.14.4 --activategit clone https://github.com/zebbern/Devonz.git
cd Devonz
cp .env.example .env.local # add at least one API key
pnpm install
pnpm run devOpen http://localhost:5173.
The first load can take up to two minutes while dependencies compile.
Copy the example file and fill in your API keys:
cp .env.example .env.localOr run the interactive setup wizard:
pnpm run setupAt minimum, add one AI provider key:
OPENAI_API_KEY=sk-...
ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=sk-ant-...
GOOGLE_GENERATIVE_AI_API_KEY=AI...You can also configure providers at runtime via Settings → Providers in the UI.
See .env.example for the full list of supported variables including deployment tokens, local provider URLs, and encryption settings.

| Hyperbolic | HYPERBOLIC_API_KEY | Hyperbolic inference |
| Z.ai | ZAI_API_KEY | GLM coding models |
| Amazon Bedrock | AWS_BEDROCK_CONFIG | AWS-hosted models (JSON) |
| Ollama | OLLAMA_API_BASE_URL | Local models, no key needed |
| LM Studio | LMSTUDIO_API_BASE_URL | Local models, no key needed |
| OpenAI-Like | OPENAI_LIKE_API_BASE_URL | Any compatible API |
See docs/LLM-PROVIDERS.md for details on configuring each provider.
Set DEVONZ_ENCRYPTION_KEY to persist encrypted API-key cookies across server restarts. Generate a key with:
node -e "console.log(require('crypto').randomBytes(32).toString('hex'))"If omitted, a random key is generated on each startup and cookies will not survive restarts.
No local Node.js required — just Docker.
