Google Opal original whole-service shutdown FAQ ↗ · Checked 14 Oct 2026

Verification notes

Shutdown: Google’s original developer FAQ expressly says the standalone hosted Opal service at opal.google.com and Gems made by Labs will turn off on November 17, 2026. Opal workflows will no longer run interactively after that day, although plain workflow files stay in each user’s Google Drive. The latter are retained files, not continued Opal service. The September 30 Google blog announces Opal’s November shutdown without the precise day; the FAQ supplies that day. This record covers the independent Opal builder with its own user entry and complete natural-language build/edit/share/run task, not individual user-created mini-apps, Gemini Gems/Skills, Google AI Studio, the Breadboard source repositories, or model IDs. Opal remains scheduled, not already off; no cutoff hour/timezone is given. The official opal.google.com sign-in page supplies an inline purple product favicon, matched to the opal.google product favicon. The SVG source was extracted unchanged as a self-contained path; owner rights remain with Google, no trademark license inferred. No account, creation, billing or data export was tested.

Launch: Google described Opal as an early experiment by October 2025; no exact first public availability day is established here.
