Google Stitch for UI Design

"The framework I use for writing prompts is called Zoom-Out-Zoom-In. I start by creating a proper context for my product and explaining its target user, then zoom in on the actual screen/page design I want to generate, explaining the goal of a particular screen/page, its layout hierarchy, and the design constraints the AI should consider when generating it. Finally, I mention expectations I have about the screen that AI will generate for me."

"" From idea to app " is the slogan Google uses for its AI-powered UI generator, Stitch. I was playing with this tool for a while, and it made one thing very clear to me: this tool isn't about "designing the final UI design for you." It's about getting you out of the blank-canvas problem faster. My previous try of using Google Stitch. In this article I want to go through my entire 3-step workflow using this tool and highlight the most important things you need to consider to make the most of it."

"Context:Design a mobile app screen for a personal finance app that helps users track daily spending.User:Young professionals who check expenses multiple times per day, often on the go.Goal of the screen:Help users quickly understand- Today's total spending- Top spending categories- Whether they are over or under budgetScreen type:Home / Dashboard (iOS-style mobile UI)Layout & hierarchy:- Sticky header with app name and current month- Primary focus: large total spending number for today-"

Google Stitch speeds up the move from blank canvas to usable interface by generating initial UI layouts and components rather than final polished designs. Effective prompts drive relevant outputs; the Zoom-Out-Zoom-In prompt framework establishes product context, defines target users, specifies screen goals, sets layout hierarchy, and lists design constraints and expectations. A sample prompt describes a mobile personal-finance dashboard with a sticky header, large today total, horizontal category cards, and a short recent-transactions list. Selecting an appropriate AI model and iterating on prompts and constraints refines generated screens to better match product intent and user needs.
