Google is expanding the reach of Opal, its AI-powered vibe-coding app, to 15 additional countries. The app, which enables users to build mini web applications through simple text prompts, is now available in Canada, India, Japan, South Korea, Vietnam, Indonesia, Brazil, Singapore, Colombia, El Salvador, Costa Rica, Panamá, Honduras, Argentina, and Pakistan.
“When we first introduced Opal to users in the U.S., we expected to see lighthearted experiments and simple tools,” said Megan Li, Senior Product Manager at Google Labs, in a recent blog post. “Instead, we were amazed by the sophistication, practicality, and creativity of what users built. Their imagination showed us that Opal needed to reach a wider global audience.”
Opal allows creators to describe the type of app they want, after which Google’s models generate it automatically. Once built, users can explore an editor panel to view and customize the app’s workflow — including its inputs, outputs, and generation steps. Each step can be reviewed, edited, or expanded using Opal’s intuitive toolbar. When ready, users can publish their creations to the web and share them via link, allowing others to try the apps directly with their Google accounts.
Alongside the wider rollout, Google also announced several key upgrades to Opal.
The company has enhanced its debugging system, keeping it fully no-code while making it easier to pinpoint and resolve issues. Users can now run workflows step by step in the visual editor or modify specific components in the console, with errors displayed in real-time for faster fixes.
Performance has also received a major boost. Where creating a new Opal app once took five seconds or more, the process is now significantly faster. The update also adds parallel processing, enabling complex workflows to execute multiple steps simultaneously for improved efficiency.
Since its U.S. debut in July, Opal has positioned Google among a growing field of companies—like Canva, Figma, and Replit—that are empowering nontechnical users to design and prototype apps without writing a single line of code.
