Google made an AI coding tool specifically for UI design

The Verge20-05-2025
Google is launching a new generative AI tool that helps developers swiftly turn rough UI ideas into functional, app-ready designs. The Gemini 2.5 Pro -powered 'Stitch' experiment is available on Google Labs and can turn text prompts and reference images into 'complex UI designs and frontend code in minutes,' according to the announcement during Google's I/O event, sparing developers from manually creating design elements and then programming around them.
Stitch generates a visual interface based on selected themes and natural language descriptions, which are currently supported in English. Developers can provide details they would like to see in the final design, such as color palettes or the user experience. Visual references can also be uploaded to guide what Stitch generates, including wireframes, rough sketches, and screenshots of other UI designs.
Stitch allows users to generate 'multiple variants' of an interface, according to Google, making it easier to experiment with different styles and layouts. The UI assets are generated alongside fully functional front-end code that can be added directly into apps or exported to Figma to refine the design elements, integrate with existing systems, and collaborate with designers.
The export option is unsurprising given that Figma is already a well-established platform for product design tasks, and would be more capable of facilitating changes to specific visual elements. The automatic coding aspect of Stitch encroaches on Figma's Make UI building app, announced earlier this month, however. Google may be hoping that Stitch is the solution to prevent designers who were using Gemini's Code Assist tool from jumping ship entirely.

AI Trading Bots Are Booming—But Can You Trust Them With Your Money?

When 17-year-old Nathan Smith handed a ChatGPT-powered trading bot a portfolio of micro-cap stocks, it delivered a 23.8% gain in four weeks—outperforming the Russell 2000 and launching him from rural Oklahoma to viral Reddit stardom. Smith's journey from rural high schooler to peak r/wallstreetbets poster boy is part of a bigger movement blossoming across the internet with traders building stock-picking systems around off-the-shelf large language models. The internet is littered with viral claims about AI trading success. One Reddit post recently caught fire after claiming ChatGPT and Grok achieved a "flawless, 100% win rate" over 18 trades with pretty big gains. Another account gave $400 to ChatGPT with the aim of becoming 'the world's first AI-made trillionaire' Neither post, however, has provided verification—there are no tickers, trade logs, or receipts. High School Student's ChatGPT Trading Bot Is Crushing the Russell 2000 Smith, however, garnered attention precisely because he's documenting his journey on his Substack, and sharing his configurations, prompts, and documentation on GitHub. This means, you can replicate, improve, or modify his code anytime. AI-powered trading isn't just a Reddit fantasy anymore—it's quickly becoming Wall Street reality. From amateur coders deploying open-source bots to investment giants like JPMorgan and Bridgewater building bespoke AI platforms, a new wave of market tools promises faster insights and hands-free gains. But as personal experiments go viral and institutional tools quietly spread, experts warn that most large language models still lack the precision, discipline, and reliability needed to trade real money at scale. The question now isn't whether AI can trade—it's whether anyone should let it. JPMorgan rolled out an internal platform called LLM Suite, described as a "ChatGPT-like product" to 60,000 employees. It parses Fed speeches, summarizes filings, generates memo drafts, and powers a thematic idea engine called IndexGPT that builds bespoke theme-based equity baskets. Goldman Sachs calls its chatbot the GS AI Assistant, built on its proprietary LLaMA-based GS AI Platform. Now on 10,000 desktops across engineering, research, and trading desks, it reportedly generates up to 20% productivity gains for code-writing and model-building. Bridgewater's research team built its Investment Analyst Assistant on Claude, using it to write Python, generate charts, and summarize earnings commentary—tasks a junior analyst would do in days, done in minutes. Norway's sovereign wealth fund (NBIM) uses Claude to monitor news flow across 9,000 companies, saving an estimated 213,000 analyst hours annually. Elsewhere, platforms like 3Commas, Kryll, and Pionex offer ChatGPT integration for trading automation, according to Phemex. In February 2025, Tiger Brokers integrated DeepSeek's AI model, DeepSeek-R1, into their chatbot, TigerGPT, enhancing market analysis and trading capabilities. At least 20 other firms, including Sinolink Securities and China Universal Asset Management, have adopted DeepSeek's models for risk management and investment strategies. All this raises an obvious question: Have we finally gotten to the point where AI can make good financial bets? Is AI-assisted trading finally ready for prime time? Multiple studies suggest that AI, and even ChatGPT-enhanced systems, can outperform both manual and conventional machine learning models in predicting crypto price movements. However, broader research from BCG and Harvard Business School warned against over-reliance on generative AI, mentioning that GPT-4 users performed 23% worse than users eschewing AI. That jibes with what other professionals are seeing. 'Just because you have more data doesn't mean you add more returns. Sometimes you're just adding more noise,' said Man Group's CIO Russell Korgaonkar. Man Group's systematic trading arm has been training ChatGPT to digest papers, write internal Python, and sort ideas off watchlists—but you'll still have to do a big part of the heavy lifting before even thinking about using an AI model reliably. For Korgaonkar, generative AI and typical machine learning tools have different uses. ChatGPT can help you with fundamental analysis, but will suck at price predictions, whereas the non-generative AI tools are unable to tackle fundamentals but can analyze data and do pure technical analysis. From Metaverse to Machine Learning, Inside Meta's $72 Billion AI Gamble 'The breakthroughs of GenAI are on the language side. It's not particularly helpful for numerical predictions,' he said. 'People are using GenAI to help them in their jobs, but they're not using it to predict markets.' Even for fundamental analysis, the process that leads an AI to a specific conclusion is not necessarily always reliable. 'The fact that models have the ability to conceal underlying reasoning suggests troubling solutions may be avoided, indicating the present methods of alignment are inadequate and require tremendous improvement,' BookWatch founder and CEO Miran Antamian told Decrypt. 'Instead of just reprimanding 'negative thinking,' we must consider blended approaches of iterative human feedback and adaptive reward functions that actively shift over time. This could greatly aid in identifying behavioral changes that are masked by penalties.' Gappy Paleologo, partner at Balyasny, pointed out that LLMs still lack "real-world grounding" and the nuanced judgment needed for high-conviction bets. He sees them best as research assistants, not portfolio managers. Other funds warn of model risk: These AIs are prone to propose implausible scenarios, misread macro language, and hallucinate—leading firms to insist on human-over-the-loop auditing for every AI signal. And what's even worse, the better the model is, the more convincing it will be at lying, and the harder it will be for it to admit a mistake. There are studies that prove this. Bitcoin and Ethereum Aren't Ready For Quantum Computers, Researcher Says In other words, so far, it's extremely hard to take humans out of this equation, especially when money is involved. 'The concept of monitoring more powerful models using weaker ones like GPT-4o is interesting, but it is unlikely to be sustainable indefinitely,' Antamian told Decrypt. 'A combination of automated and human expert evaluation may be more suitable; looking at the level of reasoning provided may require more than one supervised model to oversee.' Even ChatGPT itself remains realistic about its limitations. When asked directly about making someone a millionaire through trading, ChatGPT responded with a realistic outlook—acknowledging that while it's possible, success depends on having a profitable strategy, disciplined risk management, and the ability to scale effectively. Still, for hobbyists, it's fun to tinker with this stuff. If you're interested in exploring AI-assisted trading without the full automation, Decrypt has developed its own prompts, just for fun—and clicks, probably. Our Degen Portfolio Analyzer delivers personalized, color-coded risk assessments that adapt to whether you're a degenerate trader or a conservative investor. The framework integrates fundamental, sentiment, and technical analysis while collecting user experience, risk tolerance, and investment timeline data. Our Personal Finance Advisor prompt aims to deliver institutional-grade analysis using the same methodologies as major investment firms. When tested on a Brazilian equity portfolio, it identified concentrated exposure risks and currency mismatches, generating detailed rebalancing recommendations with specific risk management strategies. Both prompts are available on GitHub for anyone looking to experiment with AI-assisted financial analysis—though as Smith's experiment shows, sometimes the most interesting results come from letting the AI take the wheel entirely and just execute what the machine says. Not that we would ever advise anyone to do that. Though you might not have a problem giving $100 to ChatGPT to invest, there's no chance you'll see JP Morgan doing that. Yet.

How Generative AI Is Changing The Way We Work

Think back just a few years. AI in the workplace wasn't always that exciting. It was frustrating. Chatbots missed the mark more often than they helped. AI writing assistants sounded robotic, stiff, and very generic. Transcription tools? Maybe 70% accurate on a good day, which made them more hassle than help. Instead of making work easier, AI often felt like one more thing to manage. It was more novelty than necessity. But things are changing fast. Generative AI has gone from a futuristic buzzword to something much more practical and powerful. It's now sitting beside us in meetings, drafting our emails, organizing our thoughts, and even helping us solve problems we didn't know how to articulate. This isn't just smarter software, it's a new kind of teammate. We're not just using tools. We're collaborating with them. Whether it's ChatGPT, Microsoft Copilot, Claude, Perplexity, or internal LLMs customized for specific teams, generative AI isn't sitting on the bench anymore. It's helping draft proposals, untangle data, write code, analyze reports, and act as a collaboration partner to spark new ideas. And it's doing all of this without needing a lunch break, vacation time, or sleep. The pace of change is fast with AI. The impact? Even faster. And we're only just getting started. AI at Work: From Mundane Tasks to Transformation This AI transformation is no longer theoretical. Generative AI is already baked into how teams across industries get things done. As I always say, everyone is at a different point in their AI journey, but forward thinking individuals and organizations are already seeing tangible benefits from Generative AI. In marketing, it's helping create campaigns faster than ever. Think instant content generation, headline testing, SEO optimization, and rewriting blog posts when they fall flat or need a different tone. Finance teams are using AI to make sense of messy numbers. Forecasts, reports, and budget variance explanations are all generated in natural language, not spreadsheet formulas. AI-powered tools are helping teams spot trends, flag anomalies, and communicate insights clearly. Customer service is getting a long-overdue upgrade too. AI now drafts personalized email responses in seconds, summarizes multi-threaded conversations into a single digestible ticket, and routes high-priority issues to the right human agent in seconds. It can detect customer sentiment, recommend next-best actions, and even auto-generate knowledge base articles and documentation from resolved tickets. By layering AI into the tools that customer service agents already use, the role is evolving from a reactive support channel into a proactive, intelligent experience. Rethinking Roles in the Age of AI AI isn't just slotting into workflows, it's reshaping them. And with this change, roles are shifting in ways that are both subtle and significant. Tedious admin work? Automated. The kind of tasks that used to eat up your mornings such as calendar updates, inbox triage, or basic data entry are now handled by AI in seconds. That time can now get reinvested in what actually matters: thinking, deciding, creating. Knowledge workers aren't bogged down by busywork anymore. They're stepping into higher-value spaces. Strategy. Analysis. Storytelling. The kinds of things AI can support, but not truly own. It's not about replacement—it's about elevation. Or as I often say, this is augmented intelligence in action, and it's happening every day. Developers are getting an efficiency boost that's hard to ignore. Tools are suggesting code snippets, identifying bugs, and speeding up build cycles. These AI tools help the developer do their job faster and quicker. It's not about replacing the developer's judgment or creativity. The narrative shouldn't be 'AI is coming for your job.' Instead, people who know how to work with AI are increasingly outpacing those who don't. It's not about competing with machines. It's about collaborating with them and leveling up in the process. What's Holding Teams Back and What Comes Next in the Age of Generative AI AI appears to be everywhere right now, but that doesn't mean it's being used well. Despite all the headlines and hype, only a small amount of organizations say they've fully matured their AI capabilities, according to BCG's 2025 AI at Work report. So, what's standing in the way? Start with skills. A lot of employees still don't feel confident using generative AI tools. The interfaces are easy but knowing how to get meaningful, reliable results? That takes practice and training. Most companies just haven't made the investment yet to provide AI literacy and upskilling to the whole organization. Then there's trust. People worry about AI hallucinations, biased outputs, or tools making confident guesses based on shaky logic. That concern isn't misplaced. AI models do make mistakes. But the solution isn't to ignore AI. It's to understand it, pressure-test it, and use it wisely. And perhaps the most overlooked barrier? Organizational readiness. Leaders are excited. They're talking about AI in all-hands meetings and maybe even externally to clients. But beneath the surface, change management is slow. Governance is murky. And policy is usually still in draft and not fully fleshed out. So what happens? AI ends up underused. It's available, but not embedded. Sitting in the toolbox, not on the workbench. To thrive in this next wave, organizations need more than access. They need alignment. Experiment with intent. Don't just try tools. Track what works, iterate, and scale from there. Build AI fluency. Every team member, not just technical teams, should know what AI can and can't do. Lead with purpose. Integrate AI transparently and ethically. The goal isn't replacement. It's empowerment.
