Google Stitch is a free streaming UI and UX design agent from Google Labs that turns prompts into working interface layouts and outputs real front-end code. It suits product managers, designers and front-end developers who want something concrete to argue about before anyone books design time for a polished Figma file. The build shown at Google I/O 2026 on 20 May dropped the old turn-based flow for an agent that draws components onto the canvas while you are still typing.
Core Features
- Streaming Stitch Agent that reflows layouts live from text, voice, imported code or an existing design file
- Multiplayer editing so several people can work the same canvas at the same time
- Agent Manager logs a project's full design history and lets teams branch into parallel visual directions
- Front-end code export alongside the visual result, not just a flat mockup
- Browser-based with nothing to install, running on Gemini models behind the scenes
Use Cases
- Founders and PMs sketching a screen concrete enough to critique on day one
- Design teams exploring two or three directions side by side ahead of a client review
- Developers who need a workable UI shell quickly and will refine it in code afterwards
Pricing
Free while it remains in Google Labs, with roughly 350 standard generations a month and 200 in the higher-quality Pro mode. There is no paid tier at present, and equally no SLA or enterprise support.
Our Take
Best for early-stage exploration on zero budget, where Stitch is hard to argue with; Figma still wins decisively on design systems, developer handoff and production polish. The trade-off is its Google Labs status, since quotas and availability have moved before and can move again. Browse similar tools at aifreetool.site/tool-category/ai-design/
