Google Stitch for UI Design

"The better you articulate your intention, the more relevant output AI will generate for you. 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."

"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- Secondary section: horizontal category cards (Food, Transport, Shopping, Other)- Tertiary section: simple list of recent transactions (last 3-5 items)Components:- Header with subtle divider- Large numeric value with supporting la"

Google Stitch is positioned to accelerate the start of UI design by getting users past the blank-canvas problem instead of producing finished designs. Clear, detailed prompts produce more relevant AI output. The recommended prompt framework is Zoom-Out-Zoom-In: provide product context and target user, specify the screen goal, layout hierarchy, and design constraints, then state expectations for the generated screen. A concrete prompt can define context, user persona, screen goal, screen type, layout priorities, and individual components such as a sticky header, prominent daily total, horizontal category cards, and a short recent-transactions list. Choosing the right model and constraints yields usable starting designs for human refinement.
