nocoders can build AI mini-apps by linking together prompts, models, and tools
similar to the mix of nocoder tools (n8n, lindy, make, etc) where you can chain things together, but here you can just prompt it.

Status: active — still an experimental Google Labs product (no shutdown), but very capped. Live and expanding.

Launched as a US-only beta July 24, 2025; by 2026 it’s expanded to 160+ countries and is completely free during its Labs beta (no paid tier announced as of 2026).
Dec 17, 2025: it started appearing inside the Gemini app’s “Gems” manager — build/reuse a mini-app without leaving regular Gemini chat.
Agentic “Automated Workflows” mode added Feb 2026 — an agent step that plans & executes multi-step tasks autonomously, can prompt for missing inputs and select tools on its own.
Big limitations remain (unchanged from your note): no code export, no self-hosting, no external APIs beyond Google’s walled garden, no real database layer, no RBAC/version control. It’s for single-session micro-tools (quiz generator, video summarizer), not production software — so your “chain prompts together” framing is still the right mental model.
