Google Launches Opal to Democratize AI App Development with Natural Language
Google has introduced Opal, a no-code platform allowing users to create AI-powered applications through natural language commands. The tool, now in public beta in the U.S., leverages visual workflows and prompt chaining to enable seamless app development without programming expertise.
Opal's launch reflects a broader industry shift toward 'vibe-coding' tools, as seen with Canva, Replit, and Figma. The platform features a template gallery and emphasizes workflow automation for tasks like content generation and summarization, targeting creators and non-technical users.
