# Google Updates Opal “Vibe Coder”

Google has upgraded its AI tool for vibe coding, Opal. A new method for creating automated workflows has been added.

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 allows users to create mini-applications for planning and executing tasks through text prompts. It is based on the Gemini 3 Flash model, which automatically selects the necessary tools.

Possible 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 Veo model for generating video content.

The assistant independently develops a plan and determines the next step.

Google emphasized that agents are interactive: if they need additional information, they will request it from the user or suggest options for determining subsequent actions.

Thanks to this, even users without technical knowledge can build complex workflows in their applications.

Opal was first introduced in July 2025. The tool allows creating mini-apps or modifying existing ones. In December, the service was added to the Gemini web version, enabling users to assemble ready-made products in a visual editor without coding.

Recently, many companies and startups are focusing on vibe coding, offering their own solutions. Among the most popular are Lovable and Replit, as well as projects like Wabi, Emergent, and Rocket.new.

Major players in the AI industry are also developing this area: OpenAI has Codex, and solutions from Anthropic are in high demand.

Recall that in February, the flagship model Claude Opus 4.6 received “agent commands.”
