Google has added an agent step to its Opal tool for building AI-powered mini-apps. Powered by the Gemini 3 Flash model, the new agent in Opal enables autonomous workflows that plan, reason, and execute on the user’s behalf, Google said. Introduced February 24 and available to all Opal users, the agent step upgrades Opal workflows from static model calls to agentic intelligence, according to Google. Now, instead of manually picking a model, developers can select an agent in the “generate” step. The agent then triggers the right tools and models, such as Web Search for research or Veo for video, needed to accomplish the user’s intended mission. The agent can also make use of persistent memory, dynamic routing, and interactive chat with the user.
