How to Be AI-First – Free Virtual Event on October 15

On October 15 from 11-12 PM ET, join Section and Sangeet Paul Choudary, author of Reshuffle, for a discussion about strategy, opportunity, and methodology for rebuilding your team around AI principles.
He’ll cover:
> What’s the difference between being AI-enabled and AI-first?
> How can leaders think beyond the task-level and build an AI-first team at the system-level?
> What will becoming AI-first change about the way we fundamentally operate?
He’s taking audience questions, so come curious.

🧠 Why This Matters

Most design teams struggle to keep their work aligned with real data.

Mockups get outdated, design tokens drift, and localization becomes a time sink. Updating one screen often means hours of manual edits across dozens of files.

But design should move as fast as your product evolves.

Google Stitch bridges that gap by giving you:

• Accuracy → Designs always sync with live datasets and brand tokens

• Aesthetics → Polished, consistent layouts that stay on-brand across regions

• Control → One update in Stitch reflects everywhere in Figma instantly

For designers, product managers, and marketers, this means:

• Faster iterations and fewer manual updates

• Presentations and prototypes that always use the latest data

• Global consistency without extra overhead

👉 With Google Stitch + Figma, you don’t just design once — you design for now, for scale, and for real-world use.

Select Google Stitch + Figma

• Visit Google Stitch

To get started, login to Google Stitch, select Standard Mode, and type your idea in the Describe your design box. Choose whether you want a Mobile or Web layout, then click Generate designs. Finally, review the results and refine them to match your needs.

• Visit Figma

First, generate your design in Google Stitch and copy it to Figma. Then, paste it into Figma Make, add your description, and refine the details. In just a few steps, you’ll have a polished, editable design ready to use.

1. Live Dashboards in Figma

Input Example:

Need a professional dashboard on desktop without juggling Excel, slides, and design tools? Google Stitch + Figma brings it all together.

"Turn this monthly sales sheet into a clean, live-updating dashboard layout"

“Connect analytics or Google Sheets via Stitch” → On desktop, this is the integration step. Stitch links directly with your spreadsheet or analytics tool, pulling live sales, revenue, or performance data into your Figma workspace.



“Auto-generate pixel-perfect dashboards inside Figma” → On a desktop canvas, Stitch renders the dashboard layout automatically: KPI cards at the top, charts and graphs in the middle, and regional performance maps or tables below. Everything is clean, well-aligned, and presentation-ready.



“Always stays updated when the source data changes” → The desktop design isn’t static. Any update in your connected Google Sheet (e.g., new monthly sales or product categories) is instantly reflected in the Figma dashboard, ensuring the visuals are always up-to-date for reports, decks, or reviews.

Monthly Sales Dashboard Result:

• KPI Cards at the top displaying Total Sales, Average Order Value, and Customer Acquisition Cost

• Sales Trend Graph visualizing revenue performance over the last 3 months

• Category Comparison Chart highlighting growth or decline across product groups

• Regional Map with Data Table showing sales distribution and growth percentages by region

• Clean, minimalist desktop layout designed for clarity and professionalism

Result: A dynamic, data-driven dashboard inside Figma — seamlessly generated with Google Stitch. Always accurate, always up to date, and ready for use in presentations, investor decks, or internal reports.

2. Localized App Mockups

Input Example:

Need to design app screens for multiple languages but don’t want to manually duplicate and translate each one? Google Stitch + Figma can generate them instantly.

"Design onboarding screens for EN, ES, and JP, using auto-layout and consistent style."

Localized App Mockups (Desktop in Figma)

✅ Stitch in translation tables directly from Google → On desktop, Stitch connects to your localization spreadsheet and pulls in translations automatically, so you don’t need to copy-paste.

✅ Auto-generate localized versions of your mockups → In your Figma desktop canvas, Stitch produces separate frames for EN, ES, and JP, keeping typography and layout consistent.

✅ Save hours of manual copy-paste across different locales → The desktop view makes it easy to compare side-by-side language versions, ensuring all screens stay aligned with your design system.

Localized App Mockup Result:

• Direct Google Sheets integration keeps translations synced automatically

• Auto-generated Figma frames for EN, ES, and JP versions

• Consistent design system maintained across all languages

• Translation table view for full visibility, quick edits, and synced status

• Single view & side-by-side mode for easy individual or comparative reviews

Result: A multilingual onboarding flow inside Figma that is automatically localized, accurate, and scalable — saving hours of repetitive design work.

3. Smart Prototypes from Real Flows

Input Example:

Need to validate your checkout experience with real user paths—not guesses? Google Stitch + Figma can turn event logs into a clickable prototype.

Prototype the checkout flow from Stitch logs: cart → payment → confirmation → support.

Smart Prototypes from Real Flows (Desktop in Figma)

✅ Pull customer journey data from Stitch (events, timestamps, outcomes) → On desktop, Stitch connects to your event logs and imports real checkout flows directly into your Figma file.

✅ Auto-map steps into screens with branches and edge cases → The Figma desktop canvas lays out each stage (Cart → Payment → Confirmation → Support) in a structured flow, with branching logic for success, failure, or abandonment paths.

✅ Clickable prototype ready for testing—before writing any code → Designers and PMs can click through the desktop prototype, test transitions, and validate flows with real user paths, all without needing a coded build.

Checkout Flow Prototype Result:

• Auto-generated flow: Shopping Bag → Checkout → Confirmation

• Real-time events synced from Stitch logs

• Clickable prototype with transitions for testing

• Data-backed journey reflecting real user behavior

Result: A live, data-accurate checkout prototype in Figma — testable, clickable, and ready to refine before development.

4. Automated Brand Guidelines

Input Example:

Need to keep every designer and agency aligned on your brand? Google Stitch + Figma can generate a brand book automatically.

“Generate a one-page style guide with our updated brand palette, typography, and logo placement rules.

Automated Brand Guidelines (Desktop in Figma)

✅ Import logos, colors, typography, and icons directly from Stitch → On desktop, Stitch connects to your brand asset library and pulls everything into your Figma file automatically.

✅ Auto-generate a one-page style guide in Figma with live tokens → The Figma desktop canvas displays a clean layout with color swatches, font pairings, and logo placement rules, all synced from Stitch.

✅ Ensure every stakeholder works from the same source of truth → Designers, agencies, and partners reviewing on desktop always see the latest, live-updated brand book — no outdated PDFs or slides.

✅ Expandable sections for advanced guidelines → Add motion principles, spacing rules, image treatments, and iconography libraries, all sourced live from Stitch.

✅ Version history & rollback → Track changes in brand assets over time, and revert to older versions instantly if needed.

✅ Role-based access controls → Give marketing teams access to logos and palettes while keeping system-level tokens reserved for product design teams.

✅ One-click export options → Export your brand guidelines from Figma to PDF, HTML, or shareable links for agencies and external collaborators.

✅ Cross-platform consistency → Sync assets not only to Figma but also to Google Slides, Docs, or even your codebase via Stitch, ensuring brand alignment everywhere.

Automated Brand Guidelines Result:

• Live color tokens synced from Stitch

• Centralized logos, icons, and typography library

• Auto-generated style guide with expandable sections

• Role-based access and version history built in

Result: A comprehensive, living brand system inside Figma (desktop) — powered by Google Stitch. Always updated, scalable, and ready to guide both internal teams and external partners with clarity.
