Google adds a way to create automated workflows to Opal

What Happened

The company said that a new agent being introduced in Opal will allow users to create mini-apps that can let them plan and execute tasks using text prompts.

Our Take

Google's adding another workflow automation layer. Text prompt → mini-app. Sounds great on a slide. But Google ships these things every 18 months and kills half of them. Opal's already crowded with Sheets, Forms, and AppSheet.

Will enterprises adopt it? Only if it integrates with their Google stack—which it probably will. That's the trap: good enough to ship, not good enough to rely on.

What To Do

Wait 6 months—if it's still in the roadmap and getting updates, then consider it. Otherwise vaporware.
