# Galileo AI - Enterprise Evaluation

**Tool:** Galileo AI (now Google Stitch)
**Category:** Design (AI UI Generation)
**Evaluation Status:** ✅ INDEPENDENTLY VERIFIED (Claude Research - February 2026)
**Recommendation:** 🚨 **USE WITH EXTREME CAUTION** - Free/Starter outputs are PUBLIC

---

## Executive Summary

Galileo AI is an AI-powered UI design generation tool that was **acquired by Google in 2025** and rebranded as Google Stitch. Independent verification confirms the **critical privacy concern: Free and Starter tier designs are PUBLIC** and visible to everyone.

---

## Critical Privacy Issue

### 🚨 VERIFIED: FREE/STARTER DESIGNS ARE PUBLIC

**Sources:** Multiple independent reviews and official documentation

**Key Findings:**

1. **Free tier - ALL outputs public:**
   > "A notable limitation is that all designs can be seen by others even in the starter paid plan."

2. **Starter tier ($19/month) - STILL public:**
   > Designs viewable in public gallery

3. **Pro tier ($39/month) - First private tier:**
   > "Paid tiers add private mode so generations aren't public"
   > "Pro Plan at $39 a month includes...private mode (so your designs stay just between you and Galileo)"

4. **Enterprise - Full privacy:**
   > "Top-tier privacy, priority support"

## Pricing & Privacy Matrix

| Plan | Price | Generations | Privacy Status |
|------|-------|-------------|----------------|
| Free | $0 | 10/month | 🚨 **ALL PUBLIC** |
| Starter | $19/month | 120/month (~12 designs) | 🚨 **STILL PUBLIC** |
| Pro | $39/month | 300/month (~30 designs) | ✅ Private mode |
| Enterprise | Custom | Unlimited | ✅ Advanced privacy |

### Why This Matters
- **IP Exposure:** Any design created on Free/Starter is visible to competitors, public
- **Most expensive for basic privacy:** $39/month required just for private designs
- **Hidden cost:** Starter plan users may not realize outputs are public

---

## Google Acquisition (2025)

### Rebranding to Google Stitch
> "Galileo AI was acquired by Google in 2025 and is now rebranded as Google Stitch."

**Post-Acquisition Features:**
- Integration with Gemini models
- Direct HTML/CSS code export
- Two distinct generation modes
- Enhanced AI capabilities

**Privacy Implications:**
- May now fall under Google's privacy policies
- Enterprise tier likely has stronger Google Cloud protections
- Free/Starter policy may have changed - verify current terms

## Enterprise Recommendation

### 🚨 USE WITH EXTREME CAUTION

**Critical Issues:**

1. **Free tier = PUBLIC outputs** - Anyone can see your designs
2. **Starter ($19) = STILL PUBLIC** - Paying doesn't guarantee privacy
3. **Pro ($39) minimum** - First tier with private mode
4. **Most expensive for privacy** - $39/month vs UX Pilot's $19/month

### Comparison to Alternatives

| Tool | Private at | Price for Privacy | Recommendation |
|------|-----------|-------------------|----------------|
| **Galileo AI** | Pro tier | $39/month | 🚨 Avoid Free/Starter |
| UX Pilot | All paid tiers | $19/month | ✅ Recommended |
| Uizard | Business tier | $39/month | ⚠️ Business+ only |
| Lovable | Any (with opt-out) | $0+ | ⚠️ Opt-out required |

---

## Action Items for Enterprise Users

### DO NOT USE Free/Starter for:
- Proprietary UI designs
- Client work
- Competitive product designs
- Any confidential concepts

### If You Must Use Galileo AI:
1. **Minimum:** Pro tier ($39/month)
2. **Recommended:** Enterprise (for full privacy)
3. **Alternative:** Use UX Pilot instead ($19/month with privacy)

---

## Conclusion

Galileo AI's public output policy on Free/Starter tiers makes it **unsuitable for enterprise use** without the Pro tier ($39/month). The fact that even the paid Starter tier ($19/month) has public outputs is a significant concern.

**For Hackathon:**
- ❌ Enterprise code/designs: Do NOT use Free/Starter
- ⚠️ Pro tier ($39): Acceptable if privacy needed
- ✅ New non-sensitive projects: Any tier (if public outputs acceptable)

**Strong Recommendation:** Use **UX Pilot** instead - same price point, guaranteed privacy.
