Google has introduced Stitch, an experimental AI tool from Google Labs designed to bridge the gap between conceptual app ideas and functional user interfaces. Powered by the multimodal Gemini 2.5 Pro model, Stitch enables users to generate UI designs and corresponding frontend code using natural language prompts or visual inputs like sketches and wireframes.
Key Features of Stitch
-
Natural Language UI Generation: Users can describe their app concepts in plain English, specifying elements like color schemes or user experience goals, and Stitch will generate a corresponding UI design.
-
Image-Based Design Input: By uploading images such as whiteboard sketches or screenshots, Stitch can interpret and transform them into digital UI designs, facilitating a smoother transition from concept to prototype. Google Developers Blog
-
Design Variations: Stitch allows for the generation of multiple design variants from a single prompt, enabling users to explore different layouts and styles quickly.
-
Integration with Development Tools: Users can export designs directly to Figma for further refinement or obtain the frontend code (HTML/CSS) to integrate into their development workflow.
Getting Started with Stitch
-
Access Stitch: Visit stitch.withgoogle.com and sign in with your Google account.
-
Choose Your Platform: Select whether you're designing for mobile or web applications.
-
Input Your Prompt: Describe your app idea or upload a relevant image to guide the design process.
-
Review and Iterate: Examine the generated UI designs, explore different variants, and make adjustments as needed.
-
Export Your Design: Once satisfied, export the design to Figma or download the frontend code to integrate into your project.
Stitch is currently available for free as part of Google Labs, offering developers and designers a powerful tool to accelerate the UI design process and bring app ideas to life more efficiently.
