Think of Google Opal as your personal AI developer that understands plain English. Launched by Google Labs in July 2025, this experimental tool lets anyone create mini web applications just by describing what they want. No coding skills required, no complex software to learn – just tell Opal what you need, and it builds it for you.
The platform uses what’s called “vibe coding” – a revolutionary approach where you simply express your intent in natural language, and AI handles all the technical heavy lifting. Instead of writing lines of code, you might say something like “Create an expense tracker that calculates weekly spending and sends email summaries,” and Opal transforms this into a working app.
