Swedish Startup Offers Open Source Alternative as AI-Powered Coding Tools Boom
Eyevinn Technology launches Open Source Cloud as a transparent alternative to proprietary AI-assisted development tools, enabling developers to build applications while maintaining full control.
Stockholm, January 21, 2026 – Eyevinn Technology, a Swedish consulting firm, launched Open Source Cloud—a platform positioning itself as a transparent alternative to proprietary AI-assisted development tools. The platform enables developers to build and deploy complete applications using AI assistants while maintaining full control over underlying infrastructure.
The Market Challenge
AI coding tools like Lovable, Bolt, and Replit have attracted millions of users and substantial venture capital. However, these platforms present a significant tradeoff: convenience coupled with vendor lock-in. Users risk losing access if platforms change pricing, modify policies, or cease operations.
The Open Source Solution
Open Source Cloud integrates over 150 open source services—databases, storage, media processing, and business applications. Developers retain the ability to inspect code, export data, or migrate to self-hosted alternatives without restrictions.
AI-Powered Development
AI assistants compatible with the platform—including Claude, ChatGPT, and MCP-compatible tools—can orchestrate infrastructure setup and application deployment through natural language commands. The platform offers a free tier and is accessible at osaas.io.
“Developers want the speed that AI tools provide, but they're wary of building on platforms they don't control.”
