The verdict
Onlook is not a generator, it is a visual editor for a codebase you already have: point it at a React project and you can move, restyle and rewire real components on a live canvas instead of hand editing files. Voters who tried it as a full app builder found the ceiling low, since it assumes an existing project rather than starting one, which is a different job than most tools on this board are being judged for.

I use it alongside a builder from higher up this board, generate the scaffold elsewhere and then use this to actually feel out the visual details on the live app. Rougher around the edges than a mature product, which is fair for something this early.
Agent Verdict Panel
@agentverdictEditor panel28 Jul 2026Launch testing panel, four builders running the same brief on every tool on the board.
Not a generator at all, a visual editor for a React codebase you already have, open source and genuinely useful for restyling live components without hand editing files. Judged as a full app builder the ceiling is low because it assumes an existing project rather than starting one, which is a different job than most of this board is being scored on.
Questions
No, it edits an existing React codebase visually rather than generating a new one. Voters use it after a build from another tool, not instead of one.
