From coding to canvas @StitchbyGoogle is an experiment from Google Labs that turns natural language into UI designs.

"vibe designing" means you can iterate, collab, and refine your vision just by replying to the AI to make changes on the fly.

[Stitch by Google @stitchbygoogle]

Meet the new Stitch, your vibe design partner.

Here are 5 major upgrades to help you create, iterate and collaborate:
🎨 AI-Native Canvas
🧠 Smarter Design Agent
🎙️ Voice
⚡️ Instant Prototypes
📐 Design Systems and DESIGN.md

Rolling out now. Details and product walkthrough video in 🧵

@k_kohlbrenner @rustinb @stitchbygoogle Hi - I work on Stitch Prototypes, can I ask you about your experience? If so you can DM me your email and I'll set up a video call

Shipmas Day 3. Part 2. 🚢🎁

We named our product Stitch for a reason. 🧵

And today, we finally let you do it.

Introducing Prototypes.

You can now select multiple screens and "stitch" them together into a fully functional, clickable user flow.

✅ Create clickable user flows
✅ Test interactions and animations
✅ Ask for edits by clicking divs on the screen
✅ Export the full context to AI Studio or other coding agents

This is Day 1 of interaction design in Stitch, and we have so much more coming.

And yes, you can export your entire prototype flow directly to coding agents like AI Studio.

We are moving from "Generating UI" to "Designing User Experiences”.

@EiiKwesiKay Using it daily .. to build IDX

[Kaushik Sathupadi @_ksat]

Under-appreciated AI feature: knowing when to stop. In this case, after examination, no more tests was actually required #projectidx

[Kaushik Sathupadi @_ksat]

Letting AI write & run my bash scripts is my liberating brain hack. One-liners? just let #projectidx do it

[Kaushik Sathupadi @_ksat]

Light mode user here - all day everyday! Can’t wait for this !

[Roman Nurik @romannurik]

☀️ Apparently not everyone loves dark mode?! Light mode coming soon to the #ProjectIDX dashboard… ☀️

One of our goals with Project IDX is to create "Easy Buttons". Now you can deploy to Cloud Run with a click.

[Google for Developers @googledevs]

Project IDX is full of gen AI features enhanced by Gemini. From code generation to inline suggestions, here's a deep dive of all the AI features you can use today and a closer look at how they work.

We wrote a blog giving an Insider's look at Gemini in IDX:
Lots of little details & pro-tips

Tailwind is a gift to Generative AI

[Kaushik Sathupadi @_ksat]

@niharshettigar Great thread! No more waitlist btw!

[Kaushik Sathupadi @_ksat]

I'm constantly finding myself giving *better* variable names to get that sweet sweet code complete. So maybe this is a catalyst to get us all to write cleaner code ? :)

[Kaushik Sathupadi @_ksat]

I love how AI gives a new meaning to "The answer is in your question".

Q: How do I write a expressjs server?
A: just like this.. "Write a expressjs server".

Q: How do I run this server.
A: just like this.. "run this server"

IDX open to all!! https://t.co/AyGkE8AZm0

[Kaushik Sathupadi @_ksat]

@romannurik Let’s gooo!! #ProjectIDX open to all!!

[Kaushik Sathupadi @_ksat]

Google's Project IDX was built with IDX. Except the first version of IDX which was not built with IDX.

[Richard Seroter @rseroter]

Mobile and frontend devs seem to *really* like Project IDX.

We recently added Android and iOS emulators (https://t.co/Rav6nFkx3r) and more supported stacks. I just built a Go app with it!

It runs on Cloud Workstations and here's more on how we built it: https://t.co/8rSkd4qKza

[Kaushik Sathupadi @_ksat]

A writeup on how IDX is built. More tech deep dives coming soon!
