- Stitch’s user interface has been completely redesigned, making it a “vibe design” tool
- Users can interact by typing or even speaking to Stitch
- Google hopes that more brainstorming will lead to better products
Google Labs product manager Rustin Banks has lifted the reins of the company’s latest “vibe” tool – Stitch.
Stitch takes what we already know about vibe coding—the name for generating code with artificial intelligence—and applies it to the whole concept of software design.
With Stitch, users can start by sharing their intentions, feelings or business goals instead of precise drawings, and the generative AI tool begins to turn those ideas into reality.

Google hopes that Stitch will ultimately encourage users to explore more ideas, brainstorm and self-criticize (with AI help, of course), which could lead to higher-quality results.
Stitch itself is already an existing product, but the company has redesigned the user interface and repurposed the tool as an AI-first ‘vibe design’ assistant. “It now has a new AI-native, infinite canvas that gives your ideas room to grow from early ideas to working prototypes,” Banks wrote.
The product is also useful for turning the static design into interactive elements, making it easy to visualize progress, and auto-generated next screens and user journeys give users more direction for later stages (which they can refine themselves).
But as if natural language isn’t enough, Google also supports voice commands for a truly collaborative system, making it feel like working with a colleague who’s just far more efficient at generating output.
“By acting as a sounding board, AI helps you uncover your best ideas through dynamic critique and dialogue, ensuring you stay in your creative flow,” added Banks.
Finally, the Stitch MCP server and SDK open up wider possibilities with third-party connections.
Users can try out the new Stitch now, although the company has not confirmed how or if prices will change based on AI token usage.
