Google has upgraded its AI tool for vibe coding, Opal, introducing a new way to create automated workflows.
Opal, our no-code visual builder for AI workflows, just got a major upgrade. 🧠💎

We’ve added a new agent step that analyzes your goal, determines the best approach, and automatically calls the right tools — such as Veo for video or web search for research — to complete the… pic.twitter.com/QnKlG0b4ZJ
The agent enables users to create mini-apps for planning and executing tasks through text prompts. This feature is powered by the Gemini 3 Flash model, which automatically selects the necessary tools.
Potential scenarios include:
- Integration with Google Sheets to save data between sessions (e.g., shopping lists in e-commerce apps);
- Using web search to gather information or the Veo model to generate video content.
The assistant autonomously formulates a plan and determines the next step.
Google emphasized that the agents are interactive: if they require additional information, they will ask the user or suggest their own options for determining the next actions.
This means that even users without technical knowledge can build complex workflows in their applications.
Opal was first introduced in July 2025. The tool allows users to create mini-apps or enhance existing ones. In December, the service became available in the web version of Gemini, enabling users to assemble finished products in a visual editor without coding.
Recently, many companies and startups have focused on vibe coding, offering their own solutions. Among the most popular are Lovable and Replit, along with projects like Wabi, Emergent, and Rocket.new.
Major players in the AI industry are also advancing in this area: OpenAI has Codex, and solutions from Anthropic are in high demand.
Notably, in February, the flagship model Claude Opus 4.6 received a "team of agents."
