Google Opal: A FREE, Simple, Functional App Builder For Newbies

It's Like Lovable's Little Cousin

Good morning,

On Monday, we dove into Lovable and how it’s helping people build apps without writing a single line of code.

Today, I want to show you its simpler, easier, and totally free cousin: Google’s Opal.

How is Google Opal Different from Lovable?

Lovable is great if you want lots of features, templates, and you’re ready to build something a little more complex. But it can get overwhelming, especially if you’re new to app building or don’t want to mess with setup, integrations, or debugging.

Opal is built for beginners. You just type what you want.

For example, like “make a quiz app” or “turn this YouTube video into a blog post”…

And Opal does the rest.

You get a drag-and-drop interface that’s easy to understand, even if you’ve never built an app before. No coding, no outside accounts, no hidden fees.

It’s perfect for testing ideas, building simple tools, or automating small tasks. If you want to dip your toes into app building without getting lost, Opal is the place to start.

5 Easy Steps To Get Google Opal

  1. Go to opal.withgoogle.com

  2. Sign in with your Google account

  3. Click “Create New App”

  4. Type what you want your app to do (for example: “Build a quiz for my website”)

  5. Drag, drop, and customize your app, and then hit publish

That’s it. You’re live.

If you’ve been waiting for the easiest way to build your first app, Opal is it.

Talk soon,

Brian
