Google has evolved Stitch into an AI-native software design canvas that allows anyone to create, iterate, and collaborate on high-fidelity UI from natural language — and the market took notice, with Figma shares dropping 12% following the announcement.
The core concept is 'Vibe Design,' which replaces traditional wireframes. Instead of specifying exact components, users describe a business objective or desired user feeling — like 'premium and minimalist, like Stripe' — and Stitch generates multiple design directions to explore.
Voice Canvas enables conversational design: speak directly to the canvas and the AI agent listens, asks clarifying questions, offers real-time design critiques, and makes live updates to the design.
The completely redesigned UI is an AI-native infinite canvas — a workspace where ideas can grow from early sketches to working prototypes without switching tools. Since December 2025, Stitch can connect screens into interactive prototypes with transitions and automatically generate logical next screens in a flow.
A new SDK and MCP server connect Stitch to coding assistants like Claude Code, Gemini CLI, and Cursor for seamless design-to-code workflows.
Access is free during beta with monthly limits: 350 standard generations and 200 pro generations. The tool represents Google's most aggressive move into the design tool market, directly challenging Figma's dominance in collaborative UI design.
