Google has launched Stitch, an AI-powered tool designed to streamline web and mobile app frontend development. Unveiled at Google I/O 2025, Stitch generates UI elements and code from natural language descriptions or image prompts, leveraging Google's Gemini 2.5 Pro and Gemini 2.5 Flash AI models. The tool allows developers to iterate on designs conversationally, adjust themes, and export creations to CSS/HTML or Figma for further refinement.
Stitch aims to bridge the gap between design and development, enabling rapid prototyping and customisation of app interfaces. Google plans to enhance Stitch with a screenshot editing feature, allowing users to modify UI designs by annotating screenshots. While not intended as a full-fledged design platform, Stitch offers a valuable resource for developers seeking to accelerate their frontend development workflow. The generated code can also be refined in an IDE.
Alongside Stitch, Google has expanded access to Jules, its AI coding assistant, now in public beta. Jules assists developers in fixing bugs, generating pull requests on GitHub, and managing programming tasks, further enhancing developer productivity.
