Google has launched Opal, an experimental tool for app development that enables users to create apps using natural language prompts and interactive visual elements. This tool integrates various Google AI models for generating written content, images, and videos. Opal features a gallery of customizable app templates and provides a simple prompt interface for building apps from scratch. It converts user instructions into an organized workflow, illustrating the inputs, generation steps, and outputs, while allowing direct edits at each process stage for enhanced user control.
Google's Opal allows developers to create apps using natural language prompts and visual aids, eliminating the necessity for writing code. It features integration with Google's AI models like Gemini 2.5 for text and Veo 3 and Imagen 4 for videos and images.
Elle Zadina, a product manager, stated that the product aims to provide control and transparency while leveraging Google's models without needing any coding knowledge. The tool offers a gallery of premade app templates tailored to various creative needs.
Users can begin app creation from scratch, entering a natural language description of the desired app functionality. The instructions convert into an organized illustrated workflow, showing inputs, generation steps, and the final product.
The structured approach allows users to see specific actions taken by the models and make edits directly at each step, fostering an interactive and user-friendly app development experience.
