Google Acquires Galileo AI, Launches Stitch for Designers
Google has taken another bold step in the AI space by acquiring Galileo AI, a startup that enables users to design user interfaces using simple text prompts.
This acquisition marks the launch of Stitch, Google’s new AI powered design tool that brings the power of conversational interface creation to everyone from developers to non coders.
Designing Interfaces with Just a Prompt
Founded in 2022 by Helen Zhou and Arnaud Benard, Galileo AI set out to simplify the UI design process.
Their platform allowed users to generate visually appealing and functional interfaces just by typing what they wanted no need to drag, drop, or write code.
Now under Google’s wing, that same intuitive technology has been enhanced with Google’s own Gemini AI models, and reborn as Stitch.
With Stitch, you can create detailed UI layouts by simply describing them in plain English. Want a login page with a logo, input fields, and a “Sign In” button? Just type it. Stitch does the rest.
Code-Ready Designs for Everyone
Stitch stands out by offering more than just visuals it also generates production-ready code. Whether you’re a developer building a prototype or a designer with no coding experience, Stitch lets you go from concept to code in seconds.
It’s a game changer for product teams, especially those looking to speed up their design workflows without sacrificing quality.
Smooth Transition for Galileo Users
Existing Galileo AI users don’t need to worry. Google is offering a 30-day transition period, allowing users to migrate their data and projects to Stitch for free. During this time, all features of Galileo will remain available, along with access to a new experimental model designed to deliver even more creative and refined outputs.
Why It Matters
This acquisition isn’t just about adding another tool to Google’s ecosystem it signals a larger shift in how digital products will be designed in the future.
By removing technical barriers and putting powerful AI tools in the hands of more people, Google is aiming to redefine what’s possible in UI/UX design.
