About Galileo AI

What Is Galileo AI

Galileo AI is a generative design tool built around one promise: describe an interface in plain language and watch it appear. You type something like "a friendly dog-walking app for booking walks" and get back several ready-to-view screens with layouts, images, and placeholder copy in under a minute.

The startup launched in 2022 and raised a $4.4 million seed round led by Khosla Ventures, with backing from early design and product investors. Its pitch was text-to-UI and image-to-UI: skip the blank canvas, start from a description or a rough wireframe instead.

Google acquired Galileo AI, and the team folded its interface-generation engine into Google Labs. The result shipped in May 2025 as Google Stitch, a free browser tool powered by Gemini. So when people search for Galileo AI today, they're usually looking for the product that became Stitch.

One thing to sort out up front: the original standalone Galileo app is no longer sold as its own subscription. What you can actually use now lives inside Google Stitch, under a Google account and a free monthly quota. The core idea survived the acquisition, the stand-alone brand did not.

Getting Started

  1. Open Stitch at stitch.withgoogle.com and sign in with a Google account. There's nothing to install.
  2. Pick a mode. Standard mode runs on Gemini Flash for fast drafts. Experimental mode runs on Gemini Pro and accepts uploaded sketches and screenshots.
  3. Describe the interface you want, or upload a wireframe. Choose mobile or web as the target.
  4. Review the generated screens, then adjust them with plain-language instructions like "make the buttons rounder" or "switch to a dark theme."
  5. Export what you like. Send it to Figma for fine editing, or pull the HTML and CSS code straight into your project.

Scenarios

  • Pitching a concept to clients or stakeholders
  • Early product discovery when the direction isn't locked
  • Building a landing page or app shell solo

Key features

Text-to-UI Generation

Type a description of the interface and Galileo AI's engine returns full screens with layout, typography, icons, and filler copy. In its current form inside Stitch, Standard mode handles this fast, producing multiple options you can compare in seconds rather than minutes.

Image-to-UI and Sketch Conversion

Upload a screenshot, mood board, or hand-drawn wireframe and the tool rebuilds it as a structured interface. It reads the layout you sketched, then adds the details you left out, such as icons, charts, and profile placeholders. That saves the tedious cleanup work that usually follows a rough draft.

Front-End Code Export

Instead of handing you a flat image, the tool writes front-end code you can drop into a project. Stitch outputs HTML and CSS, and the markup maps cleanly to React, Vue, Flutter, or SwiftUI. For developers, that closes the gap between a design and a working screen.

Figma Integration

Generated designs paste into Figma with layers and auto layout intact, so a design team can keep editing in the tool they already use. It's a bridge, not a walled garden: start with AI, finish with the controls you know.

Theme and Variant Controls

Every screen can be retuned on the spot. Switch between light and dark, change the accent color, adjust corner radius and fonts, or ask for several variants of the same layout to compare directions side by side.

Google Account Access with a Free Quota

The tool runs entirely in the browser and needs only a Google account. Standard mode allows roughly 350 generations a month and Experimental mode roughly 50, both reset monthly. There's no download and no separate subscription.

Pros and cons

Pros

  • Turns a written idea into viewable screens in under a minute, faster than starting from a blank file
  • Exports real front-end code, so the output feeds development instead of just documenting a look
  • Pastes into Figma with editable layers, which fits teams already working there
  • Free to use with a Google account, with no installation or paid tier
  • Accepts text, sketches, and screenshots as input, so it works even if you can't describe the layout in words

Cons

  • The original standalone Galileo AI product is gone; what remains is folded into Google Stitch, so older tutorials and pricing no longer apply
  • Experimental mode caps you near 50 generations a month, which runs out fast on real projects
  • Generated designs come with placeholder copy and images, so you still need to swap in your own content
  • It's a Google Labs experiment, so features and quotas can change without much notice
