Kathmandu. Google’s new no-code AI platform called ‘Opal’ now allows ordinary users to create apps using only linguistic commands. This experiment has brought new possibilities and competition to the no-code technology market around the world.
What is Opel and how does it work?
Google Opel is a no-code AI mini-app builder. Which allows the user to create a web app by writing commands directly in natural language without any programming knowledge. The platform was launched in mid-2025 under Google Labs and has been rolled out to more than 15 countries so far.
Users describe the purpose of their app in English or another language, and Apple understands that command to create a visual workflow. Users can then adjust, add or modify the steps of the app from the graphical interface.
Highlights
- Build based on language commands: After the user writes directly what they want to create, Opel creates the structure.
- Visual Editing Feature: The app can be easily edited by design or logic.
- Google’s AI model use: Includes Google’s trained models for natural language, image recognition and data analysis.
- Integrated with Google Devices: Tasks can be automated by connecting to Google Docs, Sheets, and Drive.
- Faster and more stable performance: The new version has improvements in error detection, debugging, and speeding up performance.
Strong Sides
Google and Apple have made the process of creating an app open to everyone. Even a user who does not know how to write code can create an app that works in a few minutes. The platform is especially useful for business and academia users using Google’s ecosystem. Its main strengths are fast app creation, visual controls, and a smooth relationship with Google services.
Weakness and Limitations
Opel is still in the early stages. Some users have said that speed and stability need to be improved. Still, the convenience of exporting apps made in it completely abroad is limited. Similarly, the requirement to log in to a Google account to use it can also be uncomfortable for some users.
Possibility of use
With the use of Opal, even the average user can do the following in a short time:
- Mini web app and prototype builder,
- Data automation based on seats and drives,
- Educational or Interactive Tool Makers,
- Incorporate AI assistants into business operations.

Competition and market conditions
}
Companies such as AP Pie, Bubble, Glide, Adlo, Thankable, Flutterflow, and Zoho Creator are among the most active companies in the no-code platform market. All of these platforms target different levels of users. Some make it easy to build a simple mobile app, while others provide tools for complex business apps. But what makes Google Opal stand out is its AI-based workflow and deep integration with Google services. It has started a new trend in the market by bringing a ‘vibe-coding’ system to create apps from direct orders.
Conclusion
Google and Apple have opened up a new avenue for automated app development using artificial intelligence (AI) for people who can’t write code. It has made app development easy, fast and accessible and has made digital creations accessible to the masses.
While still in the testing and improvement phase, the capabilities and user enthusiasm that Opel has demonstrated could make it a major name in the future of no-code AI technology.
