OpenUI

The open standard for Generative UI

Overview

What it is

C1 by Thesys is a Generative UI API that augments LLMs to respond with interactive UI like charts, forms, cards, and more in real-time, instead of plain text. It integrates seamlessly with any LLM, framework, or MCP in just 2 lines of code. Ship rich, interactive AI apps 10x faster with 80% less UI overhead.

Intent

I need it when

Integrate AI-generated UI into existing applications with minimal backend changes

OpenUI's API-first architecture allows developers to integrate generative UI responses into any application. The platform supports multiple LLM providers (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google) and integrates with tools like n8n, enabling flexible deployment.

Scale AI product infrastructure while controlling costs and maintaining performance

OpenUI offers tiered plans with included API calls (3K free, 25K at $49/mo, 500K at $499/mo) and transparent LLM token pricing with no markup. Users pay only for what they use and can optimize costs by selecting free models or bringing their own LLM keys.

Generate professional reports and slides programmatically from AI outputs

OpenUI's Reports API enables AI apps to generate slides and reports as artifacts. Users get 100 pages free monthly, then $0.01 per page operation, allowing cost-effective automated document generation without separate reporting tools.

Build AI applications that display data through interactive dashboards, charts, and reports instead of plain text

OpenUI's C1 Generative UI API enables AI apps to generate dynamic dashboards, forms, charts, slides, and reports. Users can render structured, visual responses that go beyond text, making data more actionable and user-friendly.

Reduce development time for building custom UI components for AI-powered features

OpenUI provides pre-built generative UI components (dashboards, forms, charts, slides, reports) that AI can directly generate, eliminating manual component development and allowing teams to ship AI features faster.

Drop

Not a fit when

  • User needs text-only AI responses without dynamic UI generation
  • Organization requires on-premise deployment without custom enterprise plan
  • Project has extremely high API call volume and cannot absorb per-call overage costs
  • Team needs real-time UI updates but lacks integration capability with C1 API
  • Use case requires zero external LLM dependencies or vendor lock-in avoidance
