News Summary

Google has introduced a new tool called Opal, a vibe-coding app that allows users to create mini web applications using text prompts. This tool, available through Google Labs in the U.S., is part of a growing trend among major tech companies to develop AI-powered coding tools. Opal enables users to either design apps from scratch or remix existing ones from a gallery, making it accessible for non-technical users to engage in app development. The app’s visual workflow allows users to see and edit the process of app creation. Once completed, these apps can be published on the web for others to test. Google aims to expand its reach to a broader audience with Opal, joining other companies like Canva, Figma, and Replit in offering no-code platforms.
