Google's new AI tool Opal turns prompts into apps, no coding required


The Google Labs tool enables developers to create apps using natural language prompts and interactive visual aids.

Gemini 2.5 can assist with the written copy for a blog post, for example, while Veo 3 and Imagen 4 can generate accompanying videos (including audio) or images, respectively. They're also tailored to different creative needs: one lets you build immersive virtual games, for example, and another is geared toward generating video ads for a specific audience. These systems are part of a broader trend throughout the tech industry toward "low-code" and "no-code" tools, which harness AI to automate many of the key steps in the software development process.
