Stitch
Google's AI design tool for generating and iterating on web and mobile interfaces from prompts, images and existing design material.
My take
Stitch is still powerful, but I've lowered it to 4. I realised it doesn't pull me back to keep working on designs. Designers may get more out of it than I do. For me, it's a useful place to get a second or third opinion on a UX question and see another way to solve it.
At a Glance
Pros
- + Still a powerful way to explore interface ideas
- + Useful for a second or third opinion on a UX question
- + Supports iteration from detailed specifications and existing material
- + Can export screens to continue work in other tools
Cons
- − It doesn't draw me back to continue working on designs
- − An appealing layout still needs checking against real user needs
- − Google Labs features and availability can change
Best for: Getting a second or third opinion on a UX question and exploring alternative layouts before choosing a direction
Full review
Stitch can turn a detailed brief into interface designs and let you refine them over several rounds. I still find it powerful. My rating is now 4 because I realised I don’t keep returning to it to continue the design work.
A useful second opinion
I’d use Stitch when I have a UX question and want another approach: a different information hierarchy, a different arrangement of a dashboard, or another way to present a flow. A concrete specification gives you something useful to compare with your current design.
That is where it fits for me now. Designers may appreciate the canvas and iteration controls more than I do; I can only rate how well it works for me.
More ways to iterate
Google’s Stitch update describes working from text, voice, code and design files, with the agent showing its work as it goes. It also supports exporting screens to Google Antigravity so you can continue building.
Those capabilities make it worth trying on a specific design problem. They haven’t made it a place I regularly choose to keep working.
What I would check
I’d compare the alternatives against the actual task: what does the user need to see, understand and do? A polished screen can still have the wrong hierarchy or leave out an important state. Use it to question your design, then test the parts that matter with real users.
