# Google adds a way to create automated workflows to Opal

**[TechCrunch](https://daily.dev/sources/tc)** · 2 min read · 0 upvotes · 0 comments

## Summary

Google is expanding its vibe-coding app Opal with a new agentic feature that lets users create automated workflows using text prompts. Powered by Gemini 3 Flash, the agent autonomously selects tools, plans task steps, and can use Google Sheets for persistent memory. It's interactive, asking users for input when needed, enabling non-technical users to build complex mini apps. Opal, launched in July 2025 and now integrated into the Gemini web app, competes with other natural-language app builders like Lovable, Replit, and several emerging startups.
