A key move in Google’s effort is a complete redesign of the Stitch UI. New plans for Stitch were announced March 18. With vibe designing, developers can explore ideas quickly, leading to a higher quality outcome. Instead of starting with a wireframe, developers can start by explaining the business objective they hope to achieve, what they want users to feel, or even examples of what is currently inspiring.

The Stitch UI now features a new AI-native infinite canvas that lets developers grow their ideas from early ideations to working prototypes. The new Stitch canvas is also built to amplify creativity throughout the design process. Developers can bring forth ideas regardless of the shape they take—images, text, or even code—directly to the canvas as context. The canvas context, meanwhile, is paired with a new design agent that can reason across a project’s evolution. Additionally, a new Agent manager is being introduced that tracks progress and helps developers work on multiple ideas in parallel, all while staying organized.

Also being introduced are voice capabilities where developers can speak directly to their canvas. The agent can give developers real-time design critiques and design a new landing page by interviewing the developer. Real-time updates can be made. By acting as a sounding board, AI helps uncover top ideas through dynamic critique and dialogue.

Stitch can act as a bridge to other tools in a team’s workflow. Using the recently released Stitch Model Context Protocol server and SDK, developers can leverage Stitch’s capabilities via skills and tools. Developers can also export designs to developer tools such as AI Studio and Antigravity.
