Galileo AI

Originally a San Francisco startup founded in November 2022 by Arnaud Benard (ex-Google, Faire) and Helen Zhou (ex-Meta, Cruise). The product generated UI mockups from text prompts and exported them to Figma.

Google acquired Galileo AI in May 2025. The team and the product relaunched as Google Stitch, powered by Gemini. The standalone Galileo product and its paid tiers are retired.

System Verdict

Pick the current product, Google Stitch, if text-to-UI at zero cost is the goal. Stitch is free through Google Labs, supports 350 standard and 200 experimental generations per month, generates five screens at once, handles voice input, and exports to Figma and Claude Code. That is a wider feature set than the legacy Galileo subscription delivered at $19-$39/mo.

Skip it if the workflow favors a coder-first route. v0 converts prompts to production React. Figma’s own Figma Make generates components inside an existing Figma file. Stitch generates independent design output that still needs hand-off into code.

About the legacy brand: the standalone Galileo product at usegalileo.ai is retired. New users should land on stitch.withgoogle.com. Historical Galileo subscriptions have been wound down. See the founders’ own acquisition note and Google Stitch announcement.

Key Facts

Every data point above was verified against vendor and third-party sources on 2026-04-15. See Sources.

What it actually is

A text-to-UI generator. Users type a prompt like “sign-up screen for a fitness app.” The model returns editable UI mockups. Output exports to Figma as layered frames and, in the current Stitch version, to Claude Code as front-end components.

The underlying engine changed when Google acquired the team in May 2025. Galileo’s original models were replaced by Gemini. Stitch inherits Google’s infrastructure: faster generation, multi-screen output, and voice input added in the March 2026 Stitch 2.0 update.

The legacy Galileo brand exists only as a historical reference. Search traffic still lands on “Galileo AI” queries, but the product itself is Google Stitch now.

When to pick Galileo AI (Google Stitch)

• Early-stage UI mockups cost nothing. Free through Google Labs beats any paid generator on price. 350 standard generations per month covers meaningful exploration.
• Voice input fits on-the-go ideation. Describing a screen verbally skips the formal prompt-writing step.
• Five screens per prompt cuts iteration time. Competitor tools often generate one screen at a time.
• Figma export is clean. Output lands as layered frames ready for designer cleanup, not a flat image.
• Claude Code export covers the design-to-code gap. Stitch 2.0 sends front-end scaffolding directly to Claude Code for further work.

When to pick something else

• Prompt-to-production React app: v0. Vercel’s tool outputs shadcn/ui React components ready to deploy. Stitch outputs designs that still need a coder.
• Design edits inside an existing Figma file: Figma Make. Native Figma AI generates components in the same canvas as existing design work, which Stitch does not do.
• Component-library rewiring for a marketing site: Relume. Better at section-level layouts than full-app UI.
• Pixel-perfect brand work: neither Stitch nor any generator replaces a senior product designer. Use them for a draft, not a final.
• Teams avoiding Google Labs data terms: Stitch ships under Labs beta terms that permit Google to use inputs for model improvement. Privacy-sensitive workflows need review before adoption.

Pricing

Against the alternatives

Failure modes

• The Galileo brand is retired. Landing on usegalileo.ai redirects or directs users to Stitch. Tutorials, YouTube videos, and older reviews reference a product that no longer operates standalone.
• Google Labs beta is not a commitment. Labs products get reshaped or retired on Google’s timeline. Stitch 2.0 landed March 2026; the next change is not guaranteed to preserve the current feature set or free pricing.
• Generation quality varies with prompt. Vague prompts produce generic screens. Specific prompts with named components and layout cues produce better output.
• Design systems are not respected. Stitch generates from Gemini’s prior, not from an uploaded brand kit. Output needs a designer pass to match existing visual language.
• Data terms differ from paid SaaS. Labs beta programs typically permit input use for model improvement. Teams with contractual data restrictions should validate terms before using Stitch on client work.
• No public API. Automating Stitch into a CI pipeline or custom design system is not supported as of April 2026.
• Multi-screen output is not a multi-flow output. Five screens per prompt looks similar by default; reaching a coherent app-wide flow takes multiple prompts and manual stitching.

FAQ

Is Galileo AI still a separate product? No. Galileo AI was acquired by Google in May 2025 and fully relaunched as Google Stitch, powered by Gemini. The standalone Galileo product and its paid tiers are retired.

What does Google Stitch cost? Stitch is free through Google Labs as of April 2026. Usage is capped at 350 standard generations and 200 experimental generations per month.

What happened to my Galileo AI subscription? Legacy paid subscriptions were wound down after the acquisition. Current and former users are directed to stitch.withgoogle.com, which is free.

Which model powers Stitch? Gemini. Google replaced the original Galileo models after the acquisition. Model version details follow the current Gemini release line on Google’s product pages.

Can Stitch export to Figma? Yes. Output exports as layered Figma frames ready for designer cleanup.

Can Stitch export to code? Yes. Stitch 2.0, released in March 2026, exports directly to Claude Code for front-end scaffolding. Output still requires developer review before production use.

Stitch or v0 for prompt-to-app? v0 for coder-first workflows that need React components today. Stitch for design-first workflows that start from a visual concept and hand off to developers later.

Does Stitch work inside an existing Figma file? No. That is Figma Make’s territory. Stitch generates standalone output that lands in Figma as a new file or frame.
