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

Google just unveiled a new AI tool called Opal that lets anyone—yes, even non-coders—build apps just by describing what they want in plain English. Think of it like giving instructions to a tech-savvy assistant: you type or say what you need, and Opal handles the behind-the-scenes coding. It also includes visual aids to tweak and refine your creation interactively. This could be a game-changer for small businesses, educators, or anyone with an idea but no programming skills.
Editor’s Note: The barrier to creating software has always been high—until now. If Opal delivers on its promise, it could democratize app development, opening doors for people who’ve been sidelined by technical complexity. Of course, there are questions (like how flexible or secure these apps will be), but this is another big step toward AI reshaping how we interact with technology—not just as users, but as creators.
