Google has announced the expansion of Opal, an experimental no-code tool for building AI-powered mini-apps using natural language prompts, to 15 additional countries beyond its initial U.S. launch two months ago. The rollout began on October 7, 2025, aiming to empower more global creators with faster, more intuitive app development.
New Countries
Opal is now rolling out in the following 15 countries:
- Canada
- India
- Japan
- South Korea
- Vietnam
- Indonesia
- Brazil
- Singapore
- Colombia
- El Salvador
- Costa Rica
- Panamá
- Honduras
- Argentina
- Pakistan
Early adopters in the U.S. have already created a wide range of apps, from practical tools to creative experiments, highlighting Opal’s potential for accessible AI development.
Key Upgrades
Alongside the geographic expansion, Google introduced several enhancements to improve usability and performance:
- Advanced no-code debugging: Users can now step through workflows visually or in a console panel, with real-time error highlighting pinpointed to specific failure points for quicker fixes.
- Faster performance: Startup times for new Opals have been reduced from several seconds to near-instant, and parallel execution now allows multi-step workflows to run simultaneously, cutting down wait times.
These updates make Opal more responsive for building complex mini web apps via simple text descriptions.
How to Get Started
Opal is available at opal.withgoogle.com. New users can join the community on Discord at discord.gg/googlelabs to share ideas and collaborate. This expansion has been covered widely, with reports noting its potential to democratize AI app creation in emerging markets like India and Brazil.
