Google has officially launched Stitch, an innovative artificial intelligence tool that promises to transform how user interfaces are designed for web and mobile applications. Announced during the latest Google I/O conference, Stitch is now available for free in its beta phase, aiming to democratize and streamline the prototyping process.
The core mission of Stitch is to bridge the gap between design and development—two stages traditionally handled separately and often fraught with inefficiencies, multiple revisions, and back-and-forth adjustments. With this tool, Google seeks to simplify that process and lower technical barriers for anyone looking to build functional, visually appealing digital products.
Stitch allows users to generate interfaces from simple text prompts or even images. Powered by Google’s most advanced language model, Gemini 2.5 Pro, the AI can interpret commands like “design a music app with a fresh style” and turn them into ready-to-use visual elements. Users can further customize their creations by specifying color palettes, fonts, or the desired user experience.
One of Stitch’s standout features is its ability to work from sketches or wireframes. A drawing on a whiteboard, a screenshot, or a rough mockup can serve as the basis for the AI to generate a refined, fully functional interface.
Integration with platforms like Figma allows design teams to fine-tune the AI-generated layouts within familiar, collaborative environments. At the same time, developers can export clean, functional HTML and CSS code directly into their development environments, accelerating the transition from design to implementation.
At Google I/O, Kathy Korevec, Google’s Product Manager, showcased real-world examples of Stitch’s potential—from a mobile app for book lovers to a web dashboard for managing beehives—demonstrating its versatility across a wide range of projects.
In upcoming updates, Stitch will include a feature that lets users make changes to designs via annotated screenshots, offering an even more intuitive and collaborative way to fine-tune visual elements.
Stitch is part of Google’s broader strategy to make software development more accessible, particularly in the mobile space, where design often serves as a key differentiator. According to the company, the tool was originally conceived through collaboration between a designer and an engineer, with the goal of optimizing workflows for both roles and making app creation more accessible—even for those without advanced technical skills.
With Stitch, Google isn’t just releasing a tool—it’s introducing a new way of thinking about interface design and development, one that’s faster, more inclusive, and powered by artificial intelligence.
