The coding agent that works in its own browser environment
stagewise is an open-source coding agent that can actually see your app. It works in its own browser environment, reads the DOM and console, and edits the code behind what it’s looking at. Use any model, bring your own key, and keep full control.
Hey Product Hunt 👋 I’m Glenn, one of the people behind stagewise.
We built stagewise because most coding agents are still too blind to the actual product - and the easy to use ones are also pretty closed off! They can work with code, but they usually can’t really see the app, inspect live state, or understand what’s happening on screen without a lot of manual context or manual harnessing that takes time and is an additional burden for users.
stagewise changes that.
It’s an open-source coding agent with its own browser environment. It can see what you see, read the DOM and console, inspect live app state, and edit the code behind what it’s looking at.
We also wanted the setup to stay flexible: bring your own API key, use any model/provider you want, run local models, and avoid lock-in. Our product is fully open-source and we want to keep it that way - pushing the boundaries of what's possible for agents and making it accessible to everyone.
If you’re building frontend products, websites, or interactive apps, our goal is simple: With stagewise, you should need less explaining, less context switching, and faster iteration.
Happy to answer questions, hear criticism, and learn what workflows you’d want to use this for.
