What is Stitch?
Stitch is an AI UI design tool built by Google that generates user interfaces for mobile and web applications from text descriptions and uploaded images. Founders, product managers, and developers use it to go from a design idea to editable layouts and working frontend code — without needing design experience or dedicated design tools.
Users describe what they want, attach reference images if needed, and Stitch produces UI designs they can refine, export to Figma, or pull as static HTML code. It runs on AI models from Google DeepMind, including Gemini.
Features & Benefits
- Text-to-UI generation – Generate mobile and web app interface designs from a written description.
- Image-to-UI generation – Upload reference images or screenshots to inform design output.
- Static HTML code export – Export frontend code that matches the generated design for direct use in development.
- Figma export – Export designs to Figma for further editing and iteration.
- Design editing and iteration – Tweak and refine generated designs to adjust layouts, components, and structure.
- Mobile and desktop app design – Generate interfaces for both mobile and desktop app formats.
- App Store asset generation – Generate visual assets formatted for App Store submission.
- Hatter agent – Handle multi-step design tasks through an AI agent capable of executing more complex design workflows.
- MCP export – Export designs natively via Model Context Protocol for integration with other tools and workflows.
- Galileo AI import – Upload past Galileo AI conversation history to access previous work within Stitch.
- Gemini AI models – Power generation using Google DeepMind’s latest models, including standard and experimental modes.
- Monthly generation allowance – Access 350 standard and 200 experimental generations per month at no cost.
Real-World Applications
Product managers scoping a new app feature often need a visual reference before development begins. With Stitch, they can describe a screen — say, an onboarding flow or a dashboard layout — and get a working UI mockup in seconds. That design can go directly into a Figma file for the team to mark up, cutting the back-and-forth typically required before a single line of code is written.
Early-stage founders building an MVP may not have a designer on the team. Stitch lets them generate mobile or web app interfaces from plain-language descriptions, then export the HTML to hand off to a developer or drop into a prototype. For teams trying to validate an idea quickly, this can compress days of design work into a single session.
Developers who want to build a UI but aren’t comfortable in design tools can describe the interface they need and use the exported code directly. The static HTML output is matched to the design, so there’s less manual translation between what was mocked up and what gets built. Stitch also works as a starting point for generating App Store screenshots and visual assets during launch prep.
Designers migrating from Galileo AI can import their conversation history into Stitch and pick up where they left off. Once inside, they can use the Hatter agent for more complex, multi-step tasks — like generating a full set of screens for a user journey — rather than building each view individually.
