Google Stitch
Google Labs AI UI Design and Frontend Code Tool
What is Google Stitch?
Google Stitch is an AI UI design tool from Google Labs that turns text prompts and visual references into web and mobile interface designs. Stitch is the successor to Galileo AI, which was folded into Google and relaunched around the Stitch product. The current Stitch workflow focuses on generating screens, exploring variations, editing designs conversationally, and exporting designs or front-end code for further work. It is powered by Google Gemini models and is useful for rapid product ideation, early UI exploration, and designer-developer handoff experiments.
Key Features of Google Stitch
Text-to-UI Generation
Describe an app or screen in natural language and Stitch generates a high-fidelity UI concept for web or mobile.
Image and Sketch Input
Use visual references such as sketches or screenshots to guide Stitch toward a specific layout or style direction.
Gemini-Powered Variations
Stitch uses Google Gemini models to produce design variations, copy, structure, and visual treatments from prompts.
Figma-Oriented Workflow
Stitch supports workflows that move generated designs into Figma or related handoff tools for further refinement.
Frontend Code Export
Generate front-end code starting points from UI concepts when you want to move from design exploration toward implementation.
Rapid Product Ideation
Explore multiple product directions quickly without starting from a blank canvas or building every mockup manually.
Google Stitch Pricing Plans
Free Beta
Google Stitch is currently available as a free Google Labs experiment with usage allowances rather than paid self-serve subscriptions.
Best Use Cases for Google Stitch
Early Product Concepting
- Target user:
- Founder or product manager
- Pain point:
- You need a credible UI direction before design resources are available
- Solution:
- Prompt Google Stitch with the product idea and generate several visual directions for review.
Design Exploration
- Target user:
- Product designer exploring layout options
- Pain point:
- Starting from a blank canvas slows ideation
- Solution:
- Use Stitch to generate baseline screens, then refine the best concepts in Figma.
Developer Handoff Drafts
- Target user:
- Frontend developer prototyping a new flow
- Pain point:
- You need a visual and code starting point before final design exists
- Solution:
- Generate UI and front-end code drafts in Stitch to accelerate the first prototype.
Stakeholder Alignment
- Target user:
- Product team pitching a feature
- Pain point:
- Text-only feature descriptions are hard for stakeholders to evaluate
- Solution:
- Create quick Stitch mockups to compare options before investing in full design work.
How to Use Google Stitch — Step by Step
- 1
Open Stitch
Visit stitch.withgoogle.com and sign in with a Google account where the experiment is available.
- 2
Describe the Interface
Write a clear prompt for the screen, product, platform, audience, and style you want.
- 3
Generate Variations
Review Stitch outputs and ask for variations or refinements to explore alternatives.
- 4
Export or Continue Editing
Move the design into Figma or use generated code as a rough implementation starting point where supported.
- 5
Refine Manually
Treat Stitch output as an ideation draft and polish typography, spacing, accessibility, and product details in your design system.
