You may know vibe coding, but now Google wants you to know about vibe design.

If you can use natural language prompts to build complex websites and apps, doing the same for design should be no different, and that's exactly what Google's Stitch sets out to do. The redesigned tool, launched in beta on Tuesday, lets users of all experience levels collaborate with AI to create and iterate on software designs.

The Stitch tool is intended to let users skip the initial, tedious steps of creating wireframes or rough outlines that map out the layout, and jump straight into building websites and apps with UIs focused on users’ goals and inspirations.

While Stitch was originally launched in May 2025 and launched in Google Labs in December 2025, the redesign has new tools and features meant to make it a better experience for users, including:

• New UI: Stitch was completely redesigned to be an AI-native infinite canvas (similar to Figma)
• Design Agent: The agent can reason across the entire project’s evolution
• Agent manager: The manager can help users track their progress, stay organized, and run multiple tasks in parallel
• DESIGN.md: A new agent-friendly markdown file that can be used to export or import design rules to other design and coding tools
• Voice capabilities: Users can speak directly to the canvas to provide feedback or create new elements

While Stitch can do a lot for users of all experience levels, The Deep View’s designer, Lucas Crespo, does not think it is a tool that sets out to replace designers, but rather helps them get things done sooner.

“To me, it feels closer to downloading a Figma UI kit, or starting from a hyper-custom template,” said Crespo. “Very useful when you are in a rush, very useful for a first draft, but not a substitute for knowing what to do with it if you have a high bar as a designer and want to do differentiated stuff.”

With the platform, users can also integrate their own images, text, or code into the project. Then, they can “Stitch” screens together and click “Play” to view the app workflow, and the platform can even generate the next logical screens so users can see the entire journey mapped out.

Lastly, through the Stitch MCP server and SDK, Stitch can also be implemented into other tools and skills. Stitch is available to all users for free via Google Labs. It is an intuitive process that I tried for myself as someone with barely any background in website or app design, and I had a lot of fun.

Our Deeper View

It's refreshing to see a generative AI tool built for creatives that augments the creative process rather than replacing it. Unlike AI image generators, it helps you find inspiration or build on an existing foundation. It's also a natural next step after vibe coding. Where vibe coding brings an app from concept to tangible form, Stitch helps users visualize the entire design process, ensuring it aligns with their vision and delivers a better user experience.
