Google’s Tabletop lets groups build AI planning tools together

Google Labs has launched Tabletop, an experiment that builds custom tools such as trip itineraries, dinner polls and expense splitters from a prompt. Groups share one space and edit it together in real time. It is open to US adults via a waitlist.

Google has launched Tabletop, an experiment from its Google Labs team that lets groups build their own planning tools with AI. Google announced the tool on Wednesday.

Users add links, files and ideas to a shared space, then ask @tabletop to build something. It can make trip itineraries, dinner polls, expense splitters and tournament brackets. There are also starter templates.

The creator shares an invite link in a group chat, and everyone can then use the space at the same time. Google compares it to working together in a Google Doc. Group members can vote, plan and track progress in one place.

The tools can also change as plans do. Members can ask @tabletop to change a rule or add something new without starting over. In one example on Google’s product page, a Pong game becomes Pickle Pong, with a bouncing pickle and a live scoreboard.

Google suggests uses such as road trips, sports leagues, weddings, weekly meal plans and school pickups. A chore tracker can even become a game with points and a shared reward.

Tabletop is rolling out in the US to adults aged 18 and over through a waitlist, with new users let in each week. Google has not said which AI model powers it.

Google Labs experiments sometimes become full products. NotebookLM started there and was renamed Gemini Notebook this year. Google has also opened its Play Store to AI-built apps, while Slack now lets teams build with AI agents inside its chat app.
