Dual AI Modes
Standard Mode uses Gemini 2.5 Flash for fast generation (350/month). Experimental Mode uses Gemini 2.5 Pro for higher fidelity (50/month).
What are the Dual AI Modes?
Google Stitch offers two AI modes, each powered by a different model. Standard Mode uses Gemini 2.5 Flash and gives you 350 generations per month. Experimental Mode uses Gemini 2.5 Pro and provides 50 generations per month. The trade-off is simple: Standard is faster and more generous with quota, while Experimental produces higher-fidelity, more detailed designs.
Standard Mode (Gemini 2.5 Flash)
Standard Mode is your everyday workhorse. It generates designs quickly and reliably, making it perfect for brainstorming, rapid iteration, and exploring multiple directions. With 350 generations per month, you have plenty of room to experiment. The designs are good quality and suitable for most use cases, especially early-stage design exploration.
Experimental Mode (Gemini 2.5 Pro)
Experimental Mode produces noticeably higher-quality designs with more sophisticated layouts, better typography, and more polished visual details. Use it when you need the best possible output — final presentations, complex designs that require nuance, or when Standard Mode is not quite capturing what you want. Note that Figma export is not available in Experimental Mode.
Tips & Best Practices
- 1Start with Standard Mode for brainstorming and initial exploration.
- 2Switch to Experimental Mode for your final, polished versions.
- 3Use Standard Mode to generate variants, then refine the best one in Experimental.
- 4Track your generation counts — 350 standard and 50 experimental per month.
- 5Complex prompts benefit more from Experimental Mode than simple ones.
