I’ve been going deep with AI tools for both design and code lately, some of them were good, some not so much. But there was one I always liked.
I’ve been a Figma user for years. About a year ago I discovered Figma’s AI feature (Figma Make) and started prompting entire screens. That’s how I built the first dashboard for my product Plannero and also created the initial sales page.
The problem? I just didn’t love how the sales page looked. So recently I decided to test the brand-new tool everyone’s talking about — Google’s Stitch AI. I went in with zero expectations and came out genuinely impressed.
The Challenge
I had a sales page built with React + Tailwind using GitHub Copilot. It was functional… but boring. I wanted something warmer, cleaner, and more professional without rebuilding everything from scratch.
I uploaded my current page (as a web URL + screenshot) and started prompting. Step-by-Step: 5 Prompts Later
First prompt
“Remake this into something better. Planner enterprise. Use my attached design system.”The result was already shockingly good. Clean icons, familiar layout (exactly what I like — no need to reinvent the wheel), and it felt modern.
Headline tweak It suggested “Automate your delivery empire” — Not so good but I have better stuff that I can use.
Color adjustment
“Make the colors warmer.” One prompt later and the whole vibe felt premium.
Full page refresh
“Add a video section + bring ALL the messaging from my current website.”Stitch pulled in my existing copy, kept the structure, and even improved some icons. It also added a nice “Who, What, Where, When” section that just worked.
Final touch “Add FAQ before the Contact section” + pasted my real FAQ HTML.Done.
What I Got Out When it goes to output it's not too crazy. Figma exports a full React + component project. Stitch gave me a simple HTML + CSS zip file. It might not be as impressive as Figma but it’s actually usable for me right away. I imported the HTML into my AI coding agent (Copilot), cleaned it up to match my project standards, and boom — I had a sales page I’m proud of.
The final result? Much more confident, warmer, and it actually sells Plannero better than the old version.
So… Is Stitch a Figma Killer?
Not quite. Figma still wins if you want a complete React export you can drop straight into your codebase and pretend you coded it yourself (guilty 😅).
But Stitch? It’s faster, more fun, and the designs feel surprisingly polished with almost zero effort. I’m definitely keeping it in my toolkit and will keep using it for quick sales pages, landing pages, and mockups.
Final Verdict
I went from “I hate this page” to “This actually looks good and might convert better” in under an hour. AI design tools have officially leveled up.
