Google has expanded access to Opal, its AI-powered vibe-coding app, to 15 additional countries, including Canada, India, Japan, South Korea, Vietnam, Indonesia, Brazil, Singapore, Colombia, El Salvador, Costa Rica, Panama, Honduras, Argentina, and Pakistan. The tool, which enables users to create simple web applications using natural language prompts, is now available to a broader global audience. “When we opened up Opal to users in the U.S. we anticipated they might build simple, fun tools,” said Megan Li, a senior product manager at Google Labs, in a blog post. “We didn’t expect the surge of sophisticated, practical, and highly creative Opal apps we got instead. The ingenuity of these early adopters made one thing clear: we need to get Opal into the hands of more creators globally.” Opal works by letting users describe the app they want to build in plain language. The app then leverages multiple Google AI models to generate the application automatically. Once created, users can access a visual editor to explore and customize the workflow, including inputs, outputs, and generation steps. Each step can be clicked to review or edit the underlying prompt, and users can add new steps manually using Opal’s intuitive toolbar. Completed apps can be published online and shared via a link, allowing others to test them using their own Google accounts. Alongside the global rollout, Google has announced several key updates to enhance Opal’s usability and performance. The debugging experience has been improved, though the tool remains fully no-code. Users can now run workflows step by step within the visual editor or adjust specific steps directly in the console. Errors are now displayed exactly where they occur, providing immediate context and reducing the need for guesswork. Google has also significantly improved Opal’s speed and efficiency. Previously, creating a new app could take up to five seconds or longer. The company has optimized the system so that new apps now generate much faster, making it easier and more seamless to get started. Additionally, users can now run multiple steps in parallel, enabling complex workflows to execute simultaneously and improving overall performance. Since its U.S. launch in July, Opal has positioned Google as a key player in the growing wave of no-code and low-code tools aimed at empowering non-technical users. It joins a competitive landscape that includes platforms like Canva, Figma, and Replit, all striving to lower the barrier to app development and enable more people to bring their ideas to life without writing a single line of code.
