Google Stitch — A Designer's Honest Take (Part 1/2)

Google just launched an AI design tool. But is it actually useful for designers, or just another pretty demo?

I tested it. Here's what genuinely impressed me. 👇

✅ What Works

🟡Sectional edit

🟡Set your own theme

🟡Pre-generated design system

🟡Copy to Figma

🟡Generate variants in seconds

Part 2 coming — where Stitch falls short. 👀

Been testing Omma for about a week now, it's Spline's new AI tool that generates 3D scenes purely from text. I put together a quick walkthrough showing how it works and what you can actually build with it. Still early days for the tool, but the iteration speed is incredibly compelling.

Don't forget to check out the Omma Buildathon challenge: https://on.contra.com/8PWMTp

Can an AI tool understand your aesthetic or just simulate it?

I fed Google Stitch one prompt. No code. No Figma.

Full dark UI. Filterable gallery. Cyber-brutalist system. Mobile-responsive. Figma export. One shot.

~70% of my vision. But the soul wasn't there.

I had to push it: → "More chaotic" → "Denser. Less whitespace." → "Typography more system-like."

Iteration requires taste. Taste isn't in the prompt.

Stitch is a validated idea machine. The Figma export alone is worth it for MVPs.

But the freelancers who win? The ones who know exactly what to ask and why.

The prompt is the brief. Write it like one.

Wow, obviously design is awesome but I also liked what you're saying in the post "The prompt is the brief. Write it like one." that summarizes your approach!
