Google Launches Opal: Easily Build AI Apps with Natural Language
Google launches an experimental AI tool called Opal, allowing users to create mini applications by simply describing their needs in natural language. The tool provides a visual editor that supports adjusting prompts, adding features, or using templates, enabling users without programming experience to quickly build prototype applications. Completed apps can be shared via links, and the tool is currently available only in the United States. This move aligns with the trend of no-code AI platforms, similar to emerging tools like Cursor and Lovable, aiming to lower the barriers to app development. Although still in the testing phase, Opal demonstrates Google's confidence in the future of natural language programming.
