Google’s App-Builder Expands To 15 More Countries

Google is widening access to Opal, its no-code AI mini-app builder, to 15 additional countries. However, new research warns that AI-accelerated development is outpacing software security.

What Is Opal?

Opal is a Google Labs experiment that turns a plain-English prompt into a working mini web app. Users describe what they want, then Opal assembles a visual workflow of inputs, AI model calls and outputs. Each step can be opened in an editor to review the prompt, adjust the logic, add new steps, or run the workflow step by step to see what happens and where it fails. Once ready, creators can publish the app to the web and share a link so others can use it with their Google accounts.
