2025 Google Tools for Design & Development

1. Stitch
A powerful AI assistant unveiled at Google I/O 2025. Designers can prompt it with text or images, and Stitch generates polished UI elements with HTML and CSS code. It offers seamless export to Figma or front-end code, closing the gap between design and implementation.

2. Jules
An AI-powered coding agent built on Gemini 2.5 Pro. Jules autonomously handles code writing, bug fixes, testing, changelog generation, and dependency updates. Initially released in beta, it’s now publicly available with free and subscription plans.

3. Project Mariner
An experimental browser-based AI agent by Google DeepMind. It can navigate websites, fill forms, make purchases, and automate up to ten tasks simultaneously—bringing web automation directly into development workflows.

Why These Matter for Designers & Backend Developers

These tools collectively redefine productivity across the development lifecycle:

  • Stitch bridges design and code generation—ideal for UI/UX professionals.

  • Jules handles backend logic and maintenance autonomously—boosting engineering productivity.

  • Project Mariner opens the door for automating repetitive web-based tasks—ideal for testing, data entry, and process automation.

UX (User Experience) and UI (User Interface) are closely related but focus on different aspects of product design:

1. UX (User Experience)

  • UX is about the overall experience a user has when interacting with a product or service.

  • It focuses on usability, functionality, structure, and flow to ensure the product solves the user’s problem effectively.

  • UX designers work on research, user journeys, wireframes, and prototypes to make the interaction smooth and meaningful.

2. UI (User Interface)

  • UI is about the look and feel of the product — the visual design, colors, typography, icons, and interactive elements.

  • It ensures the product is not only functional but also visually appealing and consistent.

  • UI designers focus on design systems, branding alignment, and micro-interactions to enhance the product’s aesthetics.
