💠 Opal shines on in Skills! 💠 When we launched Opal in Google Labs, it was an experiment to learn how you customize your workflows. Your incredible creativity taught us so much — first inspiring Gems made by Labs, and today, supporting the global launch of skills in @GeminiApp! ✨ Skills are a faster way to automate repetitive tasks and save custom instructions right in chat - built from the learnings we had from Opal. As skills roll out globally, we will be saying a bittersweet farewell to Opal. The experiment will be shutting down on Nov 17, 2026. Whether you built mini-apps on opal.google.com or tried Gems in Gemini, thank you for shaping the future of customizable AI. Opal lives on in every skill you build next. 💙

Last week at I/O, we got to hear from the writers, designers, coders, and filmmakers behind products like @FlowbyGoogle, Project Genie, and @GoogleFlowMusic. A key theme: “See technology as a blank canvas… it's really the human imagination that shapes the technology into new stories and new ways of telling stories” as Matthew Carey puts it. Even as tools evolve at lightning speed, human collaboration remains the absolute center of the creative process. @KhyatiTrehan and @kaloyaan, pictured below, also shared how they blend their traditional creative design knowledge with vibe-coding to create the vision for Google Flow Tools. As Khyati said: "If [the right tool] doesn't exist, maybe I can just make it." Kaloyan sees this newfound accessibility as an explosion of new creative possibilities and ideas we have yet to see. Go explore products like Google Flow, Project Genie, and Google Flow Music at labs.google.
