According to AIbase, Google announced on Wednesday that its "vibe-coding" tool Opal has been officially integrated into the Gemini platform, marking the entry of AI-driven application development into the "no-code" era.
This integration allows users to build custom AI mini-applications called "Gems" directly within the Gems manager on the Gemini website by describing their needs in natural language. Since its launch in 2024, Gems has covered various preset scenarios such as learning coaches, coding partners, and editors. The addition of Opal further enhances its flexibility, enabling users to quickly turn their ideas into reusable standalone applications by calling different Gemini models.
To enhance the development experience, Opal comes with a new visual editor in Gemini that automatically parses user text prompts into clear step-by-step lists. Users can customize the application logic by dragging or rearranging these steps without writing any code.
For advanced users seeking maximum customization, the system also supports seamless migration to the advanced editor at opal.google.com for deep tuning. In the current market where AI development tools are rapidly increasing, Google's move is not only a strong response to startups like Lovable and Cursor but also makes "inspiration programming" a productive tool accessible to everyday consumers by lowering the development barrier.
