THE BIG PICTURE

About Google Opal

Google Opal is a no-code tool for creating AI mini-apps without writing code. You describe what you want in natural language, and Opal builds a workflow that can combine prompts, model calls, and tools.

Each app can also be assembled manually in a visual editor. You can connect user inputs, generation steps, outputs, tools, and static reference assets, then preview, debug, share, or publish the resulting app.

WHAT YOU CAN DO

A toolkit worth exploring

Get to know the capabilities. Find your own way to use them.

Natural-language app creation

Describe the mini-app you want to build, and Opal creates an editable workflow with steps and a usable app without requiring code.

Visual workflow editor

Add, arrange, connect, and edit workflow steps visually, with custom names and prompts for each user input, generation, or output step.

Chained AI steps

Reference results from earlier steps in later prompts, allowing sequential workflows or a single step to combine outputs from multiple sources.

Model-backed generation

Generation steps let you select an available AI model and create outputs such as text, images, or video from prompts and inputs.

Tools and references

Prompts can include built-in tools such as web search, map search, and current weather, along with connected steps and static assets.

Static asset context

Upload files such as images or provide YouTube links as reference material that models can use when generating content from your prompts.

Live preview and console

Preview the app while editing, or run the console to inspect execution order, inputs, outputs, tool calls, timing, and individual step behavior.

Sharing, publishing, and history

Share apps with selected people, publish links for users to try, unpublish when needed, and review or restore automatically saved versions.

MADE FOR YOUR WORKFLOW

Where it fits into your day

USE CASE 01

Create a research summarizer

Build an app that accepts a topic or reference document, sends the material through chained prompts, and presents a structured summary as its output.

USE CASE 02

Prototype a creative generator

Collect a text brief and optional reference image, then use a generation step to produce a visual concept or other model-generated creative output.

USE CASE 03

Turn inputs into a structured report

Collect responses through user-input steps, combine them with prompt logic, and export the result to a dynamic webpage or Google Drive spreadsheet.

YOUR FIRST STEPS

From first click to first result

Try it on the official website
  1. Start from a new app or Gallery example

    Open Opal and either describe a new mini-app in natural language or choose a Gallery example to inspect and remix.

  2. Define the workflow

    Add user-input, generation, and output steps, or ask the natural-language editor to create and modify several steps at once.

  3. Connect prompts and references

    Use step connections or the @ reference menu to pass earlier results, tools, and uploaded assets into later prompts.

  4. Preview and debug

    Run the app in Preview, then use Console to inspect each step, review model inputs and outputs, and isolate individual steps.

  5. Share or publish

    Choose permitted viewers or editors for a shared app, or publish a link that lets users try the mini-app.

A FEW MORE THINGS

Good questions. Useful answers.

More on the official website

Do I need to write code to use Google Opal?

No. Opal is designed for building and deploying AI mini-apps without writing code, using natural-language instructions or a visual editor.

Can I edit an app after generating it?

Yes. You can manually edit steps in the visual editor or describe changes with the natural-language editor.

What kinds of steps can an Opal app contain?

The documented step types include User Input, Generate, and Output. Steps can be connected and referenced in prompts.

Can Opal use files as context?

Yes. You can upload static assets such as images or provide a YouTube video link, then reference those assets in model prompts.

How can I inspect why an app behaves a certain way?

Use the Console to see execution order, timing, step details, model inputs and outputs, thinking steps, and tool calls where available.

What happens when I remix a Gallery app?

Remixing creates a separate copy that you can edit. Changes to your copy do not affect the original Gallery app.
