Introducing Stitch: The AI-Powered UI Design Tool
Introduction to Stitch
Stitch is a new experiment from Google Labs that allows you to turn simple prompt and image inputs into complex UI designs and frontend code in minutes. It leverages the multimodal capabilities of Gemini 2.5 Pro to create a more fluid and integrated workflow between design and development.
How Stitch Works
Stitch generates a visual interface based on selected themes and natural language descriptions. Developers can provide details they would like to see in the final design, such as color palettes or the user experience. Visual references can also be uploaded to guide what Stitch generates, including wireframes, rough sketches, and screenshots of other UI designs.
Benefits of Using Stitch
Stitch allows users to generate “multiple variants” of an interface, making it easier to experiment with different styles and layouts. The UI assets are generated alongside fully functional front-end code that can be added directly into apps or exported to Figma to refine the design elements, integrate with existing systems, and collaborate with designers.
Comparison with Figma
While Figma is a well-established platform for product design tasks, Stitch offers a unique set of features that focus on automation and AI-driven workflows. Stitch integrates with tools like Klein to enhance multi-model workflows, offering a glimpse into the future of AI-assisted design.
Conclusion
Stitch is a valuable tool for UI designers and developers, offering a new way to design and build user interfaces. With its automation capabilities and integration with existing design tools, Stitch has the potential to streamline the design process and improve collaboration between designers and developers.
