Why It Matters

Google’s Opal marks a step forward in accessible AI application development. By removing the coding barrier and embracing natural language and visual logic, it opens the door for:

  • Designers to prototype ideas visually
  • Product managers to demo concepts without dev time
  • Educators to teach AI workflows
  • And innovators to bring AI tools to life overnigh

Describe, Don’t Code

With Opal, users can describe their app logic in natural language, and the tool turns those instructions into a visual, editable workflow. No coding expertise required.

Create Visual Workflows

Workflows define how an app functions—step by step. Opal lets you chain prompts, models, and tools together visually. You can build multi-step flows that mimic real application logic just by describing what you want.

Make Edits with Ease

Need to tweak a prompt, add a feature, or connect to another tool? Use Opal’s visual editor or natural language commands to update your app seamlessly. You get full control over the logic—without technical complexity.

Share Instantly

When your app is ready, you can share it with others instantly, who can use it with their own Google accounts. It’s a smooth way to distribute your AI-powered tool for feedback, testing, or real-world use.

Frequently Asked Questions

Google Opal is a new experimental tool from Google Labs that allows users to build and share AI-powered mini apps using simple natural language and a visual editor. It combines prompts, AI models, and tools into functional workflows—making AI app development easier and more accessible than ever before.

With Opal, you can:
  • Prototype AI ideas and workflows quickly
  • Demonstrate a proof of concept through functional apps
  • Build custom AI tools to boost productivity
  • Create and share AI mini apps—all without writing code

Currently, Opal is in public beta and is available only in the U.S.. Google launched it this way to gather real-world feedback and build the tool alongside its community of users from the very beginning.

No! Opal is designed to be no-code. You can build apps by describing your logic using natural language, and Opal will generate a visual workflow for you. You can also use the drag-and-drop editor to refine or remix app components.

Workflows are the step-by-step logic that make up your app—like input, generation, and output. Opal lets you chain prompts, models, and tools together in a visual flow, allowing you to easily map out how your app should behave from start to finish.

Opal allows you to make changes in two ways:
  • Using natural language Just describe the update you want.
  • Using the visual editor Drag, drop, or edit any step in your workflow.
Whether it's tweaking a prompt, adding a feature, or changing a tool, editing is fast and intuitive.

Yes! Once your mini app is ready, you can share it with others, who can use it directly with their own Google accounts. This makes collaboration and distribution effortless.

To help new users, Opal includes a demo gallery with starter templates. You can:
  • Use these AI apps immediately
  • Or remix them to fit your specific goals
This makes it easy to begin building even if you're new to AI or no-code platforms.
