Overview
- Opal’s new agent plans tasks, selects tools, and executes multi‑step workflows from plain‑language prompts using Gemini 3 Flash.
- The system can store session memory via Google Sheets, enabling persistent state for use cases like lists or reusable briefings.
- Agents are natively interactive, asking users for missing details or presenting choices to guide the next step.
- Google positions Opal for non‑technical users, steering developers to Antigravity and enterprises to vetted agents in Google Cloud Marketplace.
- Investor reaction was muted with little movement in Alphabet shares as observers expect productivity gains rather than immediate revenue impact.
