Prototype desktop app ideas with AI
Orbit generates the desktop-app UI and workflows you'd build with Electron as a responsive web prototype — same panels, menus, and layouts, instantly previewable.
Electron AI Builder
Electron-style desktop UIs — sidebars, menu bars, dock panels — are prototyped as React web apps on Orbit, giving you a clickable spec before the Electron shell work.
In plain English
Electron builds desktop apps from web code. Orbit prototypes the desktop UI — panels, menus, sidebars — as a responsive web app you can click through first.
How it works in Orbit
Electron builds desktop apps with web technology. Orbit prototypes the desktop interface you're planning — sidebars, menu bars, panels — as a responsive web app, so the layout and workflows get approved before the Electron shell work begins.
Desktop patterns in the browser
Orbit renders the anatomy of a desktop app: navigation sidebars, toolbars, context panels, and dense data views — arranged the way desktop users expect.
- Sidebar navigation
- Menu and toolbar bars
- Split-pane layouts
Dense, powerful UI
Desktop tools pack a lot into a window. Orbit generates dense layouts — data grids, property panels, command palettes — that work at desktop widths.
- Data grids and tables
- Inspector-style side panels
- Keyboard-friendly controls
Approve the workflow first
The risk in desktop apps is workflow, not windows. A clickable prototype lets users test the flow of screens and actions before native shell integration.
- Clickable user journeys
- Early feedback on density
- Spec for the Electron build
Describe the desktop app
Panels, menus, and the core workflow.
Prototype the UI
Orbit generates a dense responsive desktop-style layout.
Test workflows
Click through the main user journeys.
Build the shell
Use the approved UI as the spec for Electron.
The challenge
Try it yourself
Run this one on a competitor first — then on Orbit. Same prompt, and keep score.
Build
Try this one elsewhere first.
Spec the same desktop app on two tools and compare who shows you a clickable layout before you commit to native shell work.
Research
Ask a research tool to go deep on one topic.
Then ask Orbit. Compare how many rounds it runs, how many sources it actually reads — we target 65+ — and whether every claim in the final report has a link attached. Bring a bigger coffee mug.
Chat
Ask a plain chatbot the same question.
One just talks. Orbit's agent actually searches the web, runs code, reads your files, and comes back with something done. Compare how many tabs you opened and how many are still open when you're finished.
Image & video
Generate the same image, then edit it.
Ask two tools for the same hero shot, then ask both to recolor it, fill in the background, and animate it. Compare who hands you a first draft and who keeps refining in the same conversation.

What you can do with Electron AI Builder on Orbit
Scaffold in seconds
A production Vite + React + TypeScript project with Tailwind, ready to extend.
Live preview
Watch the app render in a cloud sandbox as the agent writes code.
Verified builds
Inline typecheck and a production gate run before the preview unlocks.
Compare sibling stacks
React AI App Builder
Orbit generates production React apps from natural-language prompts. Your spec becomes a Vite + React + TypeScript + Tailwind project in a cloud sandbox, with a live preview, typechecking, and one-click Supabase for fullstack features.
Next.js AI Builder
Orbit builds the web product you'd normally create with Next.js — React frontend, server features, API routes, and data — on its production Vite + React stack, and tells you honestly when it does.
Vue AI Builder
Orbit turns Vue app requests into the equivalent product on its production React stack — same SPA outcome, verified compilation, and honest messaging that the runtime is standardized.
Angular AI Builder
Orbit maps Angular app specs to its production React stack — same dashboards, forms, and data binding, generated and verified on a stack Orbit can build and test in the sandbox.
Svelte AI Builder
Orbit generates the lightweight, fast interfaces you'd build with Svelte on its production React stack — with the same performance ethos and verified output.
React Native AI Builder
Orbit generates mobile-app UI as responsive React web prototypes — a fast, shareable way to validate the screens and flows of a React Native product before native development.

Frequently asked questions
Does Orbit build desktop apps?
Orbit prototypes Electron-style desktop interfaces as responsive web apps. The desktop shell itself stays in native tooling.
Does Orbit generate Electron apps?
Orbit prototypes the Electron-style interface as a responsive web app. The Electron shell and native integrations remain in your desktop tooling.
Can Orbit prototype a desktop workflow before the Electron shell?
That's the main use case. You sketch the dense desktop UI — sidebars, command palettes, inspector panels — in the browser preview, approve the workflow, then wire it into the Electron shell later.
